Description

The web is an ugly place for Urdu readers and Urdu language speakers because most major websites like Google, Twitter and Facebook don't support the most readable Urdu font - Nastaleeq. Therefore, Urdu speakers/readers are forced to read poorly rendered Ariel or Naskh fonts. With this extension you will see beautiful Nastaleeq font everywhere Urdu is written on the web - Google Search Results, Facebook, Twitter. If you find a site that this extension does not support, mail us at waqas@opensource.com.pk This extension is made by http://urdunotepad.com and http://opensource.com.pk/ 1.2.3 Update - BBC Urdu Support added 1.2.3 Update - Improved Styling for Twitter Urdu 2.0 Update - Added support for Quran.com 2.0 Update - Added urdu keyboard chrome popup 2.2 Update - Twitter & Facebook improvements 2.3 Update - Moved from Google Noto to Mehr Nastaleeq Font

Best extension but there are some bugs which need to be fixed....On Google's home page if I search using Urdu then result is not showing as expected...multiple lines are mixing with each above....Also TASHDEED is not showing in the name of ALLAH....

This works for Urdu, making the Urdu passages/texts into nastaleeq font very well. But, it changes Arabic words too. I want Arabic passages/texts not to be in nastaleeq. Also, is there a simple preference to be able to turn this extension on/off for certain websites? Or even a manual/toggle switch once I get to a website? If this extension had that feature, this would be much more useful to me. And it would be much more complete. Also, it would be helpful to add a size-changing feature for just the Urdu words / words in nastaleeq font, on the page (for pages that have multiple languages; e.g.: Google Translate).
