Q) I copied the font in the proper Fonts folder but the site is still not showing proper Urdu text.

A) If you still do not see the web site in Urdu text then here is another way that will definitely help you see the site in Urdu script.

Netscape Communicator 4.x: Go into EDIT | PREFERENCES and Appearance | Fonts, here you'll see 3 options one of which reads Variable Width Font: and change the default font which is Times New Roman to UmairI.ttf. Now close your browser and reopen it, this should do the trick and you should be able to view the site in Urdu text.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.x: Almost the same kind of steps need to be followed, that is, change the Variable Width Font to UmairI. All you have to do is search for the Options menu where this option is placed.

Internet Explorer 5.x: Go into TOOLS | INTERNET OPTIONS then click on the button that says Fonts... and change the Web Page Font from Times New Roman to UmairI. DO NOT change the Plain Text Font.

Q) I downloaded the UmairI.ttf, but it looks just like any English font!

A) Yes, since UmairI.ttf is a bilingual font, it displays and types English alphabet normally. If you are using it for word processing or you want to design your own web site in Urdu, you have to use a special word processor that can type in Urdu using this font.

Q) I use UmairI.ttf with MS Word but can't seem to get it to type in Urdu.

A) UmairI font does not work with MS Word or any other word processor to type Urdu. The only word processor that is available that can use the font to type in Urdu is called ParsNegar. Get more information and download the software from http://www.isc.com.au/

Q) Can I use ParsNegar to send Urdu e-mail out?

A) Yes. ParsNegar is just a word processor. Type your message (as long as you want) in ParsNegar using UmairI font and then copy the whole text and paste it into your e-mail software and send it out.

Q) The receiver of my e-mails can not view the e-mail in Urdu but some ASCII codes, what's wrong?

A) The receiver of your e-mail also have to have the UmairI.ttf font installed on their computers. You can send them the font attached to your e-mail with the instructions on how to install it. Once they set up the font properly, they will be able to view your e-mails in Urdu text.
