Installing Urdu On Windows 2000 / XP

There are three aspects on Installing Urdu Support on Windows 2000 / XP:

1. Installation of Fonts to enabling software to Render Urdu Pages Correctly
2. Setting Up the Computer to Write in Urdu Script
3. Installation of Phonetic Keyboard

I'll try to cover all aspects in this guide.

Enabling Software to Render Urdu Pages Correctly

                                              

In order to software be able to render Urdu text correctly, you need to have Urdu fonts installed on your system. A quick way to install all essential fonts required by most of Urdu websites, is to download and install the font file: 

·  Jameel Noori Nastaleeq

·  Pak Nastaleeq (Beta Release)

·  Fajer Noori Nastaleeq

·  Urdu naskh asiatype

·  Alkatib

·  AsuNaskh

·  Jameela Noori Kasheed

·  Nafees Tehreer Naskh

·  Noori Nastaliq

·  Noreen Outline

·  Urdu Nastaliq

·  BBC Urdu (Naskh asiatype)

·  Urdu Global Science

·  Gohar Urdu Unicode

·  Urdu Arial

·  Urdu Lateef

·  Urdu Nastaleeq Like

·  Urdu Riwaj

·  Urdu Scheherazade

·  Urdu Tafseer

·  Urdu Times New Roman

·  Alqalam & Alfaras Fonts

After installing fonts, you should be able to read Urdu correctly in major Windows based software and web-browsers including Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, etc. If after installing fonts, and restarting your web-browser, you still don't see Urdu text properly, then you need to enable UTF-8 encoding in your browser. Please follow these directions:

• For Internet Explorer, go to View->Encoding->Unicode (UTF-8).
• For Mozilla Firefox, go to View->Character Encoding->Unicode (UTF-8).

Above steps should enable you to read Urdu properly. Now I proceed to the second part which would enable writing of Urdu script in Windows software like MS Word, MS Excel etc.

  

Setting Up the Computer to Write in Urdu Script 

• You need Windows 2000 / XP CD in this process.
• Go to Control Panel and open "Regional and Language"
• Select "Language" tab.
• Select the option "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai)"
• Click Apply.

Installation would complete in a few moments.

1. Click "Detail"
2. Click "Add" and select "Urdu" from "Input Language"
3. Press "OK".

Now you should be able to see a box in your task bar where from you can choose the input language. Alternatively you can switch Language with ALT +  Left Shift Key. Now you can write Urdu anywhere in Windows with default Window Keyboard Layout. To enable writing in Phonetic Layout where English alphabets are mapped to Urdu alphabets on the basis of similar sound, you need to install Phonetic Keyboard. Just for example in Phonetic Keyboard alphabet "A" represent "ا" and "S" represent "س". It will make it easy for you to type Urdu. Phonetic Keyboard is available on many Urdu Websites.
