Re: Quran font release

Nicholas
First thing first. I do not have a linux system currently, so cannot
test it under linux.

About keyboard, I created my own keyboard layout under windows using
MS Keyboard Layout creator. Basically, you can assign any unicode code
to any keystroke. You just need to change the keyboard layout
(software).

About the line spacing. People are saying they have problem using
gedit, but firefox is OK. I don't have the recourses at the moment to
investigate why iut happens, but I suspect it has something to do with
gedit. It works ok under Windows (most application using uniscribe or
gdiplus).


Regards.

Meor,

        I downloaded your Qur'an font and installed it on Debian Linux.
I could not get it to work in Open Office or in Katoob, but it did work in
gedit and kedit.  I noticed, however, that there is not enough line
spacing for the font.  The tops and bottoms of some letters get cut off.
That was also a problem with your other font, I believe.  And how does one
use the font to type the Qur'an?  I only tried it out with regular imla'i
Arabic.  Do you have a special keyboard to use with it?
