About Nastaliq Web

Nastaliq Web changes how Urdu/Farsi/Arabic text looks on the web. Most websites either serve Urdu in a flat, hard-to-read font, or don't style Urdu text at all -- especially on sites not built with Urdu readers in mind, or on Linux where the system's default Urdu fonts are often poor. Nastaliq Web scans every page you visit for Urdu text and automatically re-renders it in a proper Nastaliq typeface, so it actually looks like Urdu is supposed to look. HOW IT WORKS Nastaliq Web detects Urdu by its actual Unicode characters, not by page markup, so it works even on sites that don't bother marking Urdu content as Urdu. If a sentence mixes Urdu and English in the same paragraph, only the Urdu portion gets restyled -- the English text keeps its original font. The extension also watches for new content added to the page after it loads (infinite scroll, chat apps, dynamically loaded posts) and keeps applying the font as you browse, no refresh needed. FEATURES - Four curated fonts: Jameel Noori Nastaleeq (default), Mehr Nastaliq Web, Jameel Noori Kasheeda, and Nafees Web Naskh - Adjustable font size and line height, either typed as an exact percentage or stepped with +/- buttons - A sync toggle to move font size and line height together, or set them independently - Settings are remembered automatically - One click to turn the extension on or off entirely Open Source: https://github.com/UMA1R-01/nastaliq-web WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who reads Urdu content on the web and is tired of squinting at flat, poorly-rendered text -- news sites, blogs, forums, social media, anywhere Urdu shows up. Nastaliq Web runs entirely on your device. It does not collect, store, or transmit any browsing data. See the privacy policy for details.
