they want original holy quran font as seen in the books... i think..

This is Android app:


This is iOS app:


This is old symbian app


I would like to have a similiar quranic font

@Jigzy the timeout can be done. Or if the page has not been changed for say 10 minutes then we stop preventing the screen from dimming.

I think I found a fix for the dialogs. I'm yet to see if it works with PR 1.3.
I couldn't find a fix for the virtual keyboard in the goto page dialog. I'll try to do something but I'll remove that keyboard if I fail to fix it.

As for the font:
Some apps are using images for the text. I'm not going to use that.

If someone is aware of a font that can be used then speak up. I simply don't have it.

The old symbian app doesn't look like it's using a special font. It's just a bit better than the one I use .

cssu 16 has Qt version 4.7.4 ,you might wanna dig it in..cssu update is nice and every one would like to have it cuz soon we gonna see harmattan apps are gonna be ported through this version as MAG stated .So Msameer if you could do something about it ? eh ?

0.3.7-1 is out!

* Fixes for CSSU 16/Qt 4.7.4
* Added a button to each chapter in the index page to allow going to a verse and removed the dedicated button
* Convert the manage translations button to an entry in the settings page.

Please note that it's possible in the future to see breakage with CSSU. I personally don't use it and don't test the software with it.

In case of a breakage, please report it here and state that you are using CSSU. I'll then try to fix it as long as I have that spare device

niqbal apt-get update should work for ya ..try latest version .

As seen in your screenshots earlier, the font displaying 'Surah Al-Fatiha' & the sample text shown on the 'settings' page is what is desired by many users as it resembles widely used font for Quranic texts. Also you can see two different fonts in the 'index' page & 'favorites'.

Current version of the app uses a font similar to that shown on the 'index' page screenshot.

thank you. don't use images. And it might defeat search function.

1. KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh

"opentype font, is built based on Uthman Taha calligraphy (Calligrapher of Mushaf Al-Madina) by King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex (KFGQPC). The font can be distributed freely for both commercial and non-commercial use, according to the license. One is not, however, allowed to modify the font or make derivative works upon it."

also, there are other fonts like Scheherazade & me_quran. (I'm unaware of usage rights, licences & distribution policies)
the Zekr project wiki page on Quran fonts might be useful

@anees

Using text will not affect searching at all. It will affect the ability to choose the font size. Text index is being built from a completely separate text file.

me_quran was used in the beginning and TransTech noticed that it was rendering "لفظ الجلاله" incorrectly.
Check the location of the shadda and fatha here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...05&postcount=6

I know someone who might be able to fix that particular issue but the font license prevents us from modifying it. I'm stuck here and I can't do anything.

Scheherazade is the font being used now and people hate it.

I can give KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh a try if someone can help verify that there are no rendering issues.

I know someone who is creating an Amiri font http://www.amirifont.org/
He started doing a Quran extension fir it. Here's a sample: http://www.khaledhosny.org/files/tmp/quran.pdf

I know the guy personally and he can fix any problems with the font in a reasonable time.

I can use that font if most people like it.

I can also provide a custom build that has all the fonts available from zekr if someone can go through them and verify they display correctly.

Unfortunately there's nothing else I can do.

I like that font.. i hope that comes soon...

even after manually installed version 0.3.7-1 is out,i cant get it right Sameer.same problem ,cant change anything in settings ,text jumps over the screen when tap on fonts /translation/etc ..
when i click on ABOUT ( it shows 0.3.6 version ) am i missing something or this issue has to persist there cuz of latest cssu ? Besides what if you could have a chat with MAG on this to get to the solution ? There may be any new update from ssu community in the future ,so to avoid any error log in the quran app ?
