Beyond Arabic Arial: CASE STUDY
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2020 2:13 am
Arabic Arial:
1- It is have 126 Arabic Glyphs (I mean Arabic language used in Arabic country region)
2- Isolated Glyphs merged with Arabic Basic Glyphs* (two code points)
3- Final Glyphs = Arabic Basic Glyphs ... (Same Shapes Design)
Except:
alef-arab.fina, alefhamzaabove-arab.fina, alefmaddaabove-arab.fina, alefhamzabelow-arab.fina, tehmarbuta-arab.fina, hah-arab.fina, khah-arab.fina, jeem-arab.fina, ain-arab.fina, ghain-arab.fina, alefmaksura-arab.fina, yeh-arab.fina
4- Medial Glyphs = Initial Glyphs (Same Shapes Design)
Except:
ain-arab.medi, ghain.medi
feh-arab.init and qaf-arab.init (Difference Shapes Design)
5- Lillah Glyphs = allah-arab.isol
6- hamza-arab.isol = hamza-arab
I will apply Arabic Arial techniques (and what is beyond)
the standard will be the Numbers of Glyphs we will see three fonts:
1- Arabic1 have 164 glyphs
2- Arabic2 have 126 glyphs (Arabic Arial approach)
3- Arabic3 have 67 glyphs
The Outcomes of test three font above are the same! as shown in the picture.
The question is which approach is better (Arabic1, Arabic2, or Arabic3)?
