typography issues. There’s ruqaa script for handwriting, kufi for writing with mosaics, naskh for legibility, you get the point. It’s a very flexible writing system with a lot of typographic styles. Arabs fell behind in the last 200 years, no new style of writing was created for computer systems. Text is a lot smaller because it’s written in a style not meant for glyphs. Arabic text doesn’t use up the whole vertical space, their letters just didn’t evolve in design. Compare 3 with ع: they’re the same shape and both are Arabic, 3’s shape evolved but ع didn’t. It just needs a new writing style and a way to differentiate letters without dots. 29LT made a font that was nice once but it wasn’t very simple. How would you fix it?

arabs have a whole thousand year old tradition of typographic design with those letters. I can't read it but it seems pretty versatile

Di a modern UI with Arabic. you can’t. theres no monospace style and the text is too small. It’s the most versatile script in the world but only when you put the effort to be creative. No one’s doing that.
