[***SPAM***] Re: Converting normal font into bold
/ - and more hard to find such a find in this style (Uthmanic). / There is no such a style, it is just a simplified (dumbed down) Naskh style used only in one single Mushaf. Why is that a requirement?
Thanks Khaled, the Naskh-Style is not an absolute requirement, but it is very well known and very common (at least for muslims in germany) - and it is very nice, of course, this is an question of flavor. I know your font, of course, but I had always problems with it in typesetting quran. Maybe you can help? See the following code: \definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-quran.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabicb][file:uthmantn1ver10.ttf*arabic at 17pt] \starttext \setupalign[r2l] \arabicamiri ??? ?????? ????? ?????????? ????????? ???????????? ? ????? ????????? ????????? ???????????? ??????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ? ????????? ??????? ??? ????????? \blank\blank \arabicb ??? ?????? ????? ?????????? ????????? ???????????? ? ????? ????????? ????????? ???????????? ??????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ? ????????? ??????? ??? ?????????\par \stoptext There are some issues within this example: - overlapping letters (see "Aziyz") - "bi ayaatillah" (overlapping of fatha and hamza) And besides from that: It is not so harmonic like the other font, seems more like a not-caligraphic hand-font (no offense of course :)) But possibly I am making something very wrong, can you help me? Thank you very much. My project is to typesetting quran completely, and that is not easy without an perfect font. If you have a commercial variant with license, please inform me, our company would surely buy it. Thanks and wassalam

Your text got corrupted somewhere in its way.
There are some issues within this example:
- overlapping letters (see "Aziyz") - "bi ayaatillah" (overlapping of fatha and hamza)
And besides from that: It is not so harmonic like the other font, seems more like a not-caligraphic hand-font (no offense of course :))
Funny, I always get complaints that it is too caligraphic for some peoples taste. Besides, it is actually more closer to the authentic Naskh style than Uthman Taha’s dumbed down Naskh.
But possibly I am making something very wrong, can you help me? Thank you very much. My project is to typesetting quran completely, and that is not easy without an perfect font. If you have a commercial variant with license, please inform me, our company would surely buy it.
That was my project too, but I got distracted building the perfect font since none existed.
