Why the Quwatz Naslaliq Font does not work on facebook or other platforms while it is working on my computer or phone.
Fonts are always device or platform specific. If you have downloaded the font on your phone or computer, it is specific to that computer. The text will look different on different devices. If fonts are installed on a platform such as a website or app, text on that platform will properly display in that font. You can easily read Perso Arabic text on our website that is because we have installed the fonts on our web server. The primary advantage of font is in print or publications.
