@Captain1

why can’t we develop one baseline for Fonts and develop some translater to make life easier for Urdu lovers? have you seen Chinese and Korean people? Their languages are difficult to write/read by hand yet they are able to communicate using PCs in their own language without retorting to use Roman characters.

Their languages have high status in their own countries. e.g. Chinese is used for nearly all purposes in China, same for Korean. In Pakistan, Urdu is only used by petty officials. It’s not used in business, higher government, law courts, or in university departments.
