Osama's Nastaliq Renderer

Automatically renders Urdu text in the Nastaliq font Bring the beauty of Nastaliq (نستعلیق) to your browsing experience. If you read Urdu (اردو) online, you know that much of the web's content often defaults to a plain, less elegant font. This extension is here to change that. Osama's Nastaliq automatically replaces generic script with the flowing, graceful curves of the Gulzar Font (https://gulzarfont.org/), preserving Urdu's calligraphic beauty across the digital landscape. The extension offers three intelligent modes: Universal Mode: Applies Nastaliq styling to all right-to-left scripts (Arabic, Persian, Urdu). Perfect for readers who prefer the elegant Nastaliq aesthetic across all RTL languages. Smart Mode (Default): Intelligently detects and renders only Urdu text in Nastaliq, while preserving the original fonts for Arabic, Persian, and other languages. Respects the linguistic identity of each script. Disabled Mode: Temporarily turns off the extension, displaying all text in default system fonts. Useful for compatibility or preference. Seamless Integration: We only change the font family. Your original font sizes and website layouts remain perfectly intact, ensuring a beautiful, unbroken reading experience across news sites, social media feeds, and search results. Easy Control: Switch between modes instantly with the extension's elegant popup menu. No page refresh needed. This tool was created as a modern alternative, inspired by the excellent work of the original Nastaleeq Chrome extension (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nastaleeq/oddbjmjgpaofommagnbfednbdifaakfb?hl=en). It's built for today's web, ensuring the timeless elegance of the Nastaliq script is never more than a single click away. Special Thanks: Shoutout to Dr. Borna Izadpanah (https://www.reading.ac.uk/typography/staff/dr-borna-izadpanah) for his groundbreaking work on Urdu typography and the Gulzar font. Install it today and experience the Urdu in the script it deserves to be read in.
