Encoding
This work is sorted according to the Arabic (Urdu) alphabetical order. Headers have been supplied by the transcriber.
When reading this text, please use the free font Scheherazade, developed by SIL. This includes all characters required for Urdu, and is far more elegant than the fonts delivered with most computers. SIL is currently also developing a Nastaliq style font called Awami, which would be even more appropriate for this text, but, unfortunately, is not supported in most browers, and doesn’t include a number of characters used in this old text.
Both the transcription and the Urdu itself is not very consistent; no attempts have been made to improve that. The Urdu transcription used during production of this ebook is as follows:
