Kufic font
« on: December 06, 2013, 01:59:11 pm »
Last week I bought my first two Islamic coins, so I'd like to have a font for my PC with the Kufic characters. Could anyone tell me where to find it?
Thank you in advance

Tomorrow morning I'll sign up and begin; tonight I'm too tired, having spent a lot of time, and of my eyes, in reading the Dirhams.... :-)

Than you rick!
The second one's date, as you can see in the filename is 188H and it has the initial letter  ه HA  of Harunه
