It has one glyph for every basic Arabic Unicode character or letter and one additional, final-position, glyph for each Arabic letter that is normally connected with other letters from both sides in traditional cursive Arabic strings. Amudi employs four fixed x-height values, two above and two below the x-axis. Values are high to give a slight vertical overall look. Amudi family includes all required Lam-Alif ligatures and uses selected marks positioning and glyph substitutions. Text strings composed using types of this family are non-cursive with stand-alone isolated glyphs. Amudi employs partially our “natural Arabic input” method where first glyph is displayed in its non-isolated form. Tatweel (or Kashida) glyph is a zero width space. Keying it before any glyph will display that glyph isolated form. Keying it before Alif Lam Lam Ha will display the Allah ligature. Amudi family includes both Arabic and Arabic-Indic numerals, all required diacritic marks, Allah ligature, in addition to all standard English keyboard punctuations and major currency symbols. It is available in regular, italic, bold, and bold italic styles. Keywords: Isolated, Simplified, Mutamathil, Extended
