Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing (CRULP) at National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences announces updated version of character based Nafees Web Naskh Open Type Font for writing Urdu in Naskh script based on Unicode standard. This updated version has complete support of Aerabs for Urdu and updated glyphs for Latin characters. Guidance and calligraphy of basic glyphs for the font has been provided by Syed Jameel-ur-Rehman. He is pupil of Syed Nafees Shah and Hafiz Syed Anees-ul-Hassan. Nafees Web Naskh OTF contains approximately 330 glyphs, including 5 ligatures. 

We hope that release of these fonts from CRULP will trigger extensive usage of Urdu over the internet, and electronic communication and publication, and promote the cause of Urdu computing.
