Urdu Fonts (For Windows Users)
Download any fonts that you may need to view any Urdu webpages. I am uploading any fonts I have here because sadly it seems Umair1 is now very hard to get of after the site closed down :( To save any of the files right-click on it and select Save-File as or Save target as 

Unix And Macintosh Users Urdu Fonts
At the moment I only have definition files for UrduNaqsh. To save any of the files right-click on it and select Save-File as or Save target as 

Windows XP Urdu Phonetic Keyboard Layout Files
Use these files to allow yourself to be able to type in Windows XP and 2000
 using the Phonetic Layout for Urdu Keyboards. Use the common sense approach not Billy Boys :) 

Urdu ParsNegar I & II Definition Files
To create any of your own Urdu documents in ParsNegar you will need these files. To setup an Urdu font in ParsNegar you need two files

  1. The Font Definition File (This tells ParsNegar the language rules to be applied to the font)
  2. The Keyboard Definition File (This tells ParsNegar how the layout of the keyboard will be for the font)

All the required files have been combined in a package to make life easier. Please install both files to ensure your selected font is setup properly.
 You can use ParsNegar I definition files in ParsNegar II but it does complain in the case of Urdu Naqsh and Urdu Nastalique. I have placed both files in the package so you can choose as you see fit. To save any of the files right-click on it and select Save-File as or Save target as. 

Urdu Keyboard and Font Definition Packages

ParsNegar Download
Here I have put up for download only version I of ParsNegar because I cannot upload ParsNegar II because of its file size. However if you wish to download it you can download it directly from ParsNegar's Website

Kaatib And Raakim Download
The great free Urdu Dos editors are here for you :) I know they are only DOS programs but too put it honestly it still beats the competition hands down for free no-quibbles Urdu DTP. Perhaps I should make my own free version of Kaatib/Raakim :)
 Kaatib and Raakim are not big programs but because there is a limit on 1MB files I cannot upload them in a single file to this server. I created a installation program for it which you can download from my alternative website on Geocities
 However if you choose to you can also download the program as a single zip file. Which is available at the same site as well. 
 Thus you can download the separate files or the combined file if you wish. However to give you a bit of an easier life I have made a Program Group Creator which will create shortcuts to the program on your Start-menu. Now aren't I nice :)

  So to recount there are two methods of installing Kaatib and Raakim on your system.

  1. Use the Self-Installing Executable/Program File (Installs and configures Kaatib/Raakim automatically)

  2. Download the Kaatib and Raakim Zip Files + Program Group File Creator

 I hope this makes everything clear for you :) 

Kaatib And Raakim Separated Files Download

Kaatib And Raakim's Windows Installation Program
You can use this program just like any normal Windows installation program to install Kaatib and Raakim. It will automatically create a program shortcut for you on the Start-Bar and create an installation routine for you as well. I hope this makes installing Kaatib and Raakim much easier for everyone.
 This file has been uploaded as a zip file even though it is a exe file to allow it to be uploaded. When saving please make sure you download the file as a .exe file. If you do not know how to do so please read the instructions that follow.

How to Save the Installation Zip Files as a Exe File

To download this file you will need to right click the file and then:
If using IE Save Target as -> Then change save as type to any files -> and finally save the file as type .exe as shown below



If using Netscape Right-Click the file and choose Save Link As -> And then save the the file as type .exe as shown Below

I hope this helps.
