Typing Urdu on Mac

Hello,

I have just moved on to mac and I am struggling a lot to type a few words of Urdu on Mac. I mean, I cannot type it on MS Word, Other Urdu softwares are not supported on Mac. I tried Google Docs with Noto Font but it's still not working. Can anyone suggest something how can I fix this problem? as I need to use Urdu font on design applications like Photoshop and Sketch but I am not even able to type it on word.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Areeb

I’ve experienced difficulty in typing the quotation marks (“اردو”), at least until now. Also, as due to the offered font styles – ‘Nastaliq’ & ‘Naqsh’ – the ‘line spacing’ (as in ‘Microsoft Office Word’) is not spacious enough to read the Urdu text distinctly!

Problem with URDU and ARABIC font on iOS 11+ I am using iOS 13 and still I wish to use the Naqsh font for URDU and ARABIC which was before iOS 11. The problem with the font is that it is not easy to read. It is not compatible with other apps. Words get mixed up in between two lines. Apple, please add old font option to choose.

MacBook and poor support for Tamil Unicode fonts I have been using a Mac since 2004, I am writer in Tamil, and type a lot. My experience with Mac and Tying in Tamil is never been a good experience. I use Notes, Text Edit and Safari (FB Posts) for typing in Tamil. Out of which Text Edit is somewhat OK but the overall experience with Notes and Safari is poor and many times annoying. I suspect the main issue is with the memory where, copy paste, cut, insert, and delete (backspace) are of terrible experience. How do I explain this to someone in Apple support? Thanks
