Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Huruf is an extension built to make reading Arabic text easier. Most online text written with the Arabic script is small and set in a hard-to-read font. Huruf fixes this by allowing you to customize the font, font size, and line height used to render Arabic text, making it easier to read. Huruf supports any language written with characters from the Perso-Arabic Unicode blocks, so it will work with any language written in the Perso-Arabic script (Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Punjabi, etc).

All fonts used by Huruf are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, and Type Specimens for each font can be found at the Google Fonts project (fonts.google.com). More information on the OFL can be found at http://scripts.sil.org/OFL.
