Opening this bug to paste some links somewhere.
Odder used Pak Type Tehreer to create the new logo for the Urdu Wikipedia, but
some user told us that it would be better to use a font in Nastaʿlīq script
(also written Nastalique, Nastaleeq, Nastaliq).
* SIL has a free font but "Nastaliq Navees font is an obsolete, symbol-encoded
font requiring the obsolete QuickDraw GX technology" and they're not working on
an update: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=Nastaliq&_sc=1
(could still be enough for specific use cases like creating a logo, but not for
WebFonts).
* Google early access didn't find any free font:

* CRULP created a font and shared insights on how to do so, but the font itself
is not free: http://www.apdip.net/projects/ictrnd/2002/nafees
* Someone was recently trying to create a new OFL font:
