Urdu website breaks new ground: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_2139000/2139300.stm
Bold claim, but maybe true: "The launch of BBCUrdu.com is a landmark in online publishing as it is the first news site to use Urdu text, rather than scanned-in images of printed materials." Unicode shout: "The font works right now across multiple Windows operating systems. Because it is Unicode, it can technically work across multiple current and future operating systems as fonts become available." The cross-platform message somewhat dulled by the font [Urdu Naskh Asiatype] download being a Windows .exe file with (judging by a message that popped up) a copy of the uniscribe .dll... Just like the person who took the screenshot, I get boxes in IE6, but I'm sure it works for someone. Worked in Mozilla before I downloaded the font, which is a testament to Unicode and Arial Unicode MS, I guess. Al.
