Overview
Automatically renders Urdu text in the Nastaliq font
Osama's Nastaliq Renderer: Bring the authentic beauty of Nastaliq (نستعلیق) back to your browsing experience. If you read Urdu (اردو) online, you know that much of the web's content often defaults to a plain, less elegant Arabic font. This extension is here to change that. Osama's Nastaliq Renderer automatically replaces that generic script with the flowing, graceful curves of the Gulzar Font (https://gulzarfont.org/). Shoutout to Dr. Borna Izadpanah (https://www.reading.ac.uk/typography/staff/dr-borna-izadpanah) for all his work on typography. This isn't just a font change; it's an improvement in readability and cultural authenticity. Key Features to Enhance Your Reading: Intelligent & Automatic: The extension intelligently applies the Nastaliq style only where it's needed—on Urdu text. Seamless Integration: We only change the font family. Your original font sizes and website layouts remain perfectly intact, ensuring a beautiful, unbroken reading experience across news sites, social media feeds, and search results. Easy Control: Need a quick break? You can easily toggle the renderer on or off via the extension's simple popup menu. This tool was created as a modern, reliable alternative, heavily inspired by the excellent work of the original Nastaleeq Chrome extension (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nastaleeq/oddbjmjgpaofommagnbfednbdifaakfb?hl=en). It's built for today's web, ensuring the timeless elegance of the Nastaliq script is never more than a single click away. Install it today and enjoy the web in the script it was meant to be read in.
