Noto Nastaliq U+0658 shape #350

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

The diacritic mark for indicating noon ghunna (sporadically used but sometimes 
essential) in the middle of a word, here on top of noon, ن٘, could be 
slightly reshaped. It appears too big in comparison with the dot; moreover, its 
shape should be a bit more along the lines of a V. Here attached pictures from 
calligraphed sources.

Thank you.

It's very late in the game to be proposing design changes of this type. 
Attached is the current Noto Nastaliq rendering of the sample word in the 
middle. What stands out to me is not the difference in the proportions of the 
mark, but its calligraphic emphasis. We can readily contemplate such a change 
in a future version. But then again, some other reviewers might prefer the less 
emphatic typographic form we currently use.

I understand your reasoning and it is well possible someone might have 
different preferences in the future. Still, this sign is almost never used so I 
doubt if it is going to attract many opinions. I agree about the emphasis, in 
this version it is just alright as the calligraphed version is too emphatic 
because of it being a dictionary. Still the sign should be smaller as it is too 
big in some words and occupies the space of other letters as in the attached 
example:
