I reviewed the draft for this section and have few comments: * Naskh being "the standard script for the Arabic and Muslim world" is highly debatable; * Kufi was not always the script for use in architecture; it was used for Quran during Umayyads (661-749); * It might be more relevant not to fall for Kufi vs. Naskh and briefly mention the topics of two styles as _mugavvar wa mudawar_ (curved and rounded) vs. _mabsūt wa mustagīm_ (elongated and straight-angeled); * Also, Ibn Muqla system of measurement of Arabic script is concise and useful and can be visualized in few illustrations; i.e. size of Nokte, height of Alif, circle (Dairah); * It's prefer to avoid using existing fonts for script samples and use actual calligraphic examples; * Ta'liq and Nastaliq font samples look exactly the same; * "Farissi" should be corrected to either "Farsi" or "Persian"; * "Kufi" script was not actually from Kufa. -- GitHub Notification of comment by shervinafshar Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/9#issuecomment-216471816 using your GitHub account
