This is the only freely-available font to provide an authentic Nastaliq style with kerned calligraphic segments. This is the very first Nastaliq-style font with support for a wide range of languages, made possible by a flexible technology. If you are using some other weight than Regular for text and want to make a word or phrase stand out you will need to select the text and apply one of the heavier weights manually. This is a technical limitation with some apps and OSes. This is because only Regular has an associated Bold counterpart. If you choose a weight other than Regular (such as ExtraLight), then use application controls to turn on Bold, some applications will make a “fake” Bold rather than use one of the real ones in the font (Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold). To access the Bold you need to choose Regular and turn on Bold using the application’s UI controls such as a “B” button. Some applications will list all the weights but leave out Bold. Problems with Bold weights Why does my application not show the Bold weight in font menus and dialogs? FAQ’s specific to Scheherazade New are found below.
