Indo-pak arabic script

It would be nice to have the option of reading in the Indian-Pakistani Arabic script. I have grown up with this script and I believe it is a widely used script so the inclusion of it on this website would be great
Jazakallah Khair

    Hopefully in the next release (OQP2), the user have the opportunity to choose between different font styles ( http://www.ahmedgraf.com/quranic_fonts.html ) and ( http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=ArabicFonts ) for the Al-Quran Arabic text. As fare as other RTL languages (Farsi, Urdu..) this ticket is still under review.

    If YOU know of any other typefaces and fonts that supports Unicode for Arabic/Urdu/Farsi please post a comment on this thread. A request have been made on ’nasta’liq font’ but with no future information on where to get the font.

    - UPDATE -
    Postponed to OQP3 so OQP2 can be released earlier.

        I have a "nasta'liq" UNICODE font which contains diacriticals and forms for the Urdu language. I don't know if it is suitable for Farsi, Dari, and/or Pashto.

        Indo-Pak script is very useful indeed. Is it possible to make CHOOSE which font you want to use for the arabic? Something like tanzil.info, so you would have to manually type the name of the font (already installed on your pc) you want to use. This is - i think - very easy to implement. Please consider this.
        On tanzil.info this is possible: display options > font > custom >
        And i would appreciate it if you could do the same for Urdu (nastaliq). So the users would just type the font they want, and it will be used, very simple yet effective.

        In the link below i have uploaded two types of fonts you can use: (1) Pak-Indo Quran Fonts (2) Nastaliq Fonts. I numbered them from what i think are the best, i.e. #1 is the best, #2 is slightly less. For the Nastaliq Fonts there isnt much difference between them, and they should all work fine. The Pak-Indo Quran Fonts however, not all of them work well with the different types of "zabar", "zer", "pesh" etc: http://www.mediafire.com/?gizeqmgz5ym
