Arabic Typesetting (خط الطباعة العربي) is a computer font developed by Paul Nelson, John Hudson, and Mamoun Sakkal. It is a traditional Naschī- style Arabic font that takes advantage of the advanced capabilities of OpenType to create vertical ligatures, positional and language-dependent forms. The font won the 2003 Type Design Competition along with Gentium and thirteen other typefaces.
Arabic typesetting is supplied as standard with Windows Vista and MS Office - and in a very early version with Microsoft VOLT.
