Writing Nastaliq (Urdu) in DW?

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?

Correct answer Nancy OShea

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!

    I’ve got it on my system so it’s available in all my other apps. Do you know how to apply it on a webpage? Thanks again.
