Hi, might be being a bit of an idiot here but does anybody know how you write Arabic letters in the Nastaliq style in a webpage? For example for the Urdu language? The font families in DW to choose from, I haven’t gone through them all, but the ones I’ve tried so far all display Arabic text in the Naskh style. For example for the Arabic language where it all rests on a flat line. See attached image. Am I missing something obvious?

It's a web font. It can't be "brought into Dreamweaver."

Thanks Nancy. I’ve got Noto Nastaliq Urdu. It looks great but it’s not in Dreamweaver. I will start investigating how to bring it into Dreamweaver. Thanks again!
