    if you have a mac the original font is muna.

    anyway bahij muna, which is a correction edit, is the best font alternative to the original Muna, and to other copycats like axtmanal or others.

    bahij muna is the best with more characters for many languages and it's a unicode. this font keeps the same size of axtmanal when you replace the font on any text.

      Unfortunately I don't have any windows machine nearby till next week to do any testing for you, having said that, why are you still using an unsupported AXT (Arabic Xtenstion) fonts which were created for QuarkXpress? Adobe products do not support these fonts since CS6. You may want to have a look at other OpenType fonts that are similar to AXT Manal.

      Hi Zaid

      Have a good Day

      Thanks for your reply. Some of my clients they don't want to change their existing fonts of their corporate marketing tools like business cards, Letter-Heads And Envelopes, Etc.... Thar's why I try to get out from this mess. Can you please suggest which font is very similar to AXT Manal Arabic.

      Thank you

      Years after Adobe decided not to support AXT fonts, and because of so many publishers are stuck with AXT Manal, few font designers imitated AXT Manal with an OpenType version, specially no party owns the rights to AXT Manal as far as our research concluded.

      Our company Grapheast developed a font named GE Alma that looks like AXT Mnal and worked as a replacement for those users who suffered from the lack of support since CS6.

      Our company had developed a large Arabic font library, each font starts with GE followed by the name of the font.
