📜 The History Behind the Nasta‘liq Font
InPage owes its authentic look to the original Noori Nastaliq Typeface, which was digitized in 1981. Before InPage’s 1994 release, publishers had to rely on complex command-line systems and hand-written corrections.
InPage revolutionized the industry by:
- Licensing and expanding the essential Noori Nastaliq typeface.
- Bringing the Nasta‘liq script to common platforms like Windows and Mac for the first time.
- Eliminating the need for last-minute, time-consuming calligraphy teams in newspaper production.
