This typeface is particularly well suited for traditional book typography, an area neglected by digital type. The font provides fine typographic control by marrying the latest OpenType technology to traditional calligraphic and typographic models. It achieves maximum readability by opening bowls and counters, balancing the proportions of stroke and white space in letters that typically cause problems at small sizes, and by contextually differentiating similar forms. The font contains over 2,100 glyphs, including contextual alternates, ligatures, and language-specific forms. Great care was taken in the design and digitization of all outlines. The graceful curves, the dynamic of blunt and rounded terminals, and the contrast between thick and thin strokes are consistent and lively throughout the typeface. In addition to providing all the correct shapes for quality Arabic typesetting, the same care and consistency has been applied in glyphs used for the many other languages, such as Farsi, Urdu, Sindhi, etc., that are written in variants of the Arabic script. This means that documents incorporating several language will have a harmonious appearance. The Arabic glyphs are accompanied by Latin letters designed to achieve a balance of color, weight and proportion between the two scripts. Typically, the trend in co-ordinating Arabic and Latin types has been to unhappily force the Arabic to match the proportions of the Latin.

Arabic Typesetting
Macs are not perfect even though one’s productivity is much higher with one. When things go wrong – they can sometimes really go wrong.
One customer had issues with a critical branding font that installs fine on everyone else’s Macbook but not theirs. I now know more about fonts that I ever wanted to know especially how Microsoft fonts fit into the Mac picture. I researched dozens of websites each adding a piece to the puzzle. Here we go …
Download Arabic Fonts For Word
- There are 4 font stores on your Mac
- user fonts stored in /Users/youraccount/Library/Fonts
- computer wide (all accounts) fonts in /Library/Fonts
- system fonts in /System/Library/Fonts (never ever touch these)
- Microsoft Office fonts in /Library/Fonts/Microsoft (ahhh I see)
- ONLY TTF fonts work for Office – or so MS claims
- To install fonts for MS Office 2011 – don’t double click them – this installs them naturally in the user fonts
- instead – start up Font Book (use the spotlight or magnifying glass to find it quick in the upper right of your Mac)
- drag them from your Finder onto Computer (under the Collection section at the left of the Font Book app)
- A reboot triggers the Mac Font store to sync with Office. Don’t forget to reboot before ripping your hair out
- Adding fonts to the user fonts will never show up in Microsoft Office products
- Don’t assume that because a font works in lets say Word, that it will appear in Excel – it might once the cache catches up
- Microsoft font cache file can be delete so it will force a refresh – but it can be in 2 places – check both. Microsoft moved it for Office 2011 for Mac for some computers different than others
- Lion? goto finder and hold the option key and …
- click the menu Go->Library or type in a folder /Library by choosing the Go->Go to Folder option then navigate eventually to /Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011
- not there? Microsoft moved them in later releases of Office 2011 to /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Preferences/Office 2011 – even MS’ articles are incorrect!
- also you might need to look in /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Preferences/Office 2011
- when you re-start work or Excel you will now see a task completing to rebuild the cache files and if you observe the location above you will see new cache files
- Here is a link to completely remove Office on a mac and is the final puzzle piece that allowed me to solve this riddle http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
