Introduction
Diwan Mishafi Font by Hameed Al-Saadi:
Diwan Mishafi Font is characterized by it's calligraphic nature (i.e., it follows the basic rules of classical
Arabic calligraphy). It differs from many Naskh fonts that are being commonly used in PC's, that are,
basically, printing fonts.

With such specialty, Mishafi font thus always retains both the beautiful shape and the calligraphic rules even in cases when printed in larger sizes. In addition, it provides many choices, thus enables the user to write any word in a variety of shapes and hence offers flexibility to the artistic talent of the user. Therefore, the user of the font is expected to have some knowledge about Naskh calligraphy, or at least should be aware of it.

Mishafi contains characters for Arabic, Persian and Kurdish languages. Besides this, it contains the symbols and shapes that are necessary for printing the holy Quran and hence make it qualified for any technically high quality application.

Mishafi is available as part of al-Nashir al-Sahafi Dibaj on the Macintosh and al-Nashir al-Maktabi 5 on Windows.

NEW! Mishafi wins prestigious international award (Press Release VI)
