[prepress_speedline]

Hi,

Good Day...

I am using Adobe Illustrator in Mac and Windows. In Mac I can type AXT Arabic fonts without any problem. But in windows when am typing numbers automatically changed to Adobe Arabic Font and continue as adobe Arabic Font. How can I solve this Issue. If anyone can will suggest will be appreciate.

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.

I know its late answer, in addition to what Mr. said said, you can use ae_AlMohanad

Absolutely.

I have been using AXT fonts with QuarkXpress way before those working for ADOBE now were conceived to see the light of the world, and now unable to accept that we have old loyal cleints who prefer certain fonts created by QuarkXpress and who are still consulting us with preference for such fonts. I am still waiting for someone from ADOBE to tell me "Hey buddy, here is the gem! Whenever you type in AXt Font, our latest application will automatically replace it with an identical replacement font of our own as we are breaking away from anything related to QuarkXpress because we are at 'corporate' war with them at QuarkXpress‚—Thank you for being our loyal customer" No! Never anything of that sort. On the contrary, it is "It is our application or take a hike, and blast your subscription!"

Way to go, huh!  ☹️

Corporate war?

I think you should stop spreading conspiracy theories when all it requires is updating your fonts.

some times I have the same issue, some of my clients also don't want to change the axt manal font, so I override this issue by using CMD+Alt while choosing the axt manal font.

AxtManal font is not working in my macbook, whenever i want to download it its showing me squares. How can I solve this Issue. If anyone can suggest will be appreciate.

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.
