Not sure if anyone watches this page, but Microsoft has recently added native support for Nastaliq in Windows. They have done this through a fully Unicode compliant font that they call "Urdu Typesetting". Here is a blog post about it by a Program Manager at Microsoft. http://www.siao2.com/2012/01/29/10145717.aspx. Would there be any objections to adding this font to the Nastaliq template. I am currently using Windows 8 Developer Preview, and it seems like my browser (Chrome 18) is reverting to regular arabic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kas1234567 ( talk • contribs) 05:15, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Request to add the Microsoft "Urdu Typesetting" font to this script. This is being pushed by Microsoft as the standard font for Urdu Typesetting going forward. If you count just the number of people using the Developer Preview, it probably already exceeds the number of people who have any of the other third-party Nastaliq fonts. Once the public beta comes out (Feb 2012), the number will be in the tens of millions. I have a sandbox page and test case if testing needs to be done.

Remove the lang and xml:lang tags. 'und' is invalid and {{
lang}} should be used to define the language/script/variety/whatever.

WP:TESTCASES, please put your proposed change into

An empty string for the first param will work on live, i.e. {{Nastaliq|text here}} instead of {{Nastaliq|text here}}.How is 'und' invalid btw ? It is an appropriate language code standing for "undetermined" [1]. I agree that ULS and the browsers screw it up, but that doesn't make it invalid, it makes it have unintended consequences perhaps, but no more. — TheDJ ( talk • contribs) 13:09, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Google have been working on a Nastaliq font as a part of the Noto fonts project.
The first two links are using a webfont, the third links to a downloadable font:
I think it's worth us including those — preferably the webfont, imho, but certainly the downloadable font, for users who've installed it. I don't know enough about Nastaliq font use to be able to give an opinion on the sequence they should be offered in, though :o) — OwenBlacker ( Talk) 23:36, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
I noticed on the Punjab page that the "پ" in "پنجاب" is detached in two places.
When I look at the page source, it is not detached. What I see is this template, ie. the source has "{{Nastaliq|پنجاب}}" in both places.
I was using an old version (3.6.9) of Firefox on Linux, I switched to Windows 7 Google chrome and this template has no effect (it just renders the same as پنجاب).
So I guess what's happening is: neither browser supports the more urdu-style script, but in the latter case, something detects it and renders it as it would without the template, but in the former case, something goes wrong.
Maybe this is just a bug in the browser, and granted it is an obsolete browser that has all sorts of problems and I would happily dismiss it as that, except that since it looks like you have some sort of "fallback" case, that should just render as if the template wasn't there, I thought perhaps I should bring it to your attention in case the problem is on your end.
Thanks for your time, and also thank you for trying to make the script nicer! -- 174.112.129.234 ( talk) 20:17, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
The rollover/alt text for anything wrapped in the nastaliq template reads "Nastaliq", overriding any indicator of the language being printed (for example, text wrapped in the lang-ur template would ordinarily read "Urdu language text" as the alt text). Is there any way to change this? It seems like the intended language may be a preferable alt text when applicable, since text may be wrapped in the nastaliq template in combination with lang-ur or lang-pa, for example. -- Avg W ( talk) 16:13, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

The 125% font-size is much too big and is interfering with line leading. See for example, Aga Khan I (may depend on your OS and font installed). Could you change it to something like 110% instead? Thanks. Kaldari ( talk) 20:35, 1 December 2018 (UTC) Kaldari ( talk) 20:35, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Please remove the ‬

the talk page of {{script/Hebrew}}
, it is not needed because it does not follow a LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING, RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING, LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE, or RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE character (see
the documentation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm), and it causes problems on an older browser, Opera 12. —

A lot of the characters of the Pashto alphabet isn't available in most Nastaliq fonts, but people keep adding this template and {{ nastaliq}} to Pashto text.
Most of the fonts these templates use include just Urdu and sometimes a couple of varieties of Punjabi. About a third of the Pashto alphabet displays as nonsense characters.
Why do people keep using these templates on Pashto and other languages?
Do they have an unusually comprehensive Nastaliq font on their own device that makes it work? or do they have none of the fonts on their device and just add the Nastaliq templates for consistency without knowing what they do?

Awami Nastaliq seems to be broken and isn't displaying words correctly, it seems to be displaying words letter by letter instead of joining them. I have found
PakType Naskh Basic to be much better and it also properly supports 08C7 (For Punjabi), which previously only Awami Nastaliq did, although it is not a Nastaliq font.

How come the Nastaliq script isn't showing on Wikipedia mobile, or even on Wikipedia accessed via mobile browser (in my case Chrome)? I don't think this is an issue with any fonts on my device, as other websites I've visited on Chrome mobile (such as Siasat) display Nastaliq without any problem. Gowhk8 ( talk) 15:48, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
The template at Template:Uninastaliq simply works better than this one at this point which relies on legacy fonts. The different fallbacks for different languages would not be needed with Uninastaliq either, though it could be refined if other fonts improve in the future.
See for example, ٻ vs. ٻ from the Saraiki alphabet. If you have Noto Nastaliq installed you can see it clearly in the second one. (This is part of the Saraiki alphabet.) Middle river exports ( talk) 22:43, August 21, 2022 (UTC)
