Re: Converting normal font into bold

["\"H. Özoguz\"" <h.oezoguz@mmnetz.de>]

Again, because arabic seems to be vanished in my first posting, I dont know why.


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-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt]
\definefont[arabicb][file:uthmantn1ver10.ttf*arabic at 17pt]
\starttext

      \setupalign[r2l]

      \arabicamiri مِن قَبْلُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ ۗ
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۗ
وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ

\blank\blank

      \arabicb مِن قَبْلُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ ۗ إِنَّ
  ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۗ
وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ\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
