Comment on Digital Printing of Arabic: explaining the problem (2017)parent

Comments

If you think Arabic horrible because it has connected letters, so is cursive. But I like both cursive and Arabic. You can easily distinguish separate words as the words' letters are connected, and you don't have to put less space to show that some letters are making a word. It's not optimized for printing and digital fonts I agree. But you can't say it's not useful for daily use. It's so much easier on paper.

Just a personal esthetic (unpractical) preference.

These two sentences contradict each other. Daily use means printing and reading from screen.

It's so much easier on paper.

Only if one writes by-hand. Which is unpractical since like press printing has been invented.
