اَول الله عَلِيمُ، اعليٰ،
عالَمَ جو ڌَڻِي؛
قادِرُ پنهنجي قُدرت سين، قائم آهِ قديم؛
والي، واحِدُ، وَحۡدَهٗ، رازق، رَبُّ رَحِيم؛
سو ساراه سچو ڌڻي، چئِي حَمدُ حَڪِيم؛
ڪري پاڻ ڪَرِيمُ، جوڙُون جوڙَ جهان جي.
سَائِين سَدائِين، ڪَرِين مَٿي سِنڌ سُڪار؛
دوست مِٺا دِلدار، عالم سڀ آباد ڪَرِين.
Sindhi Support (keyboard & fonts) has been installed to your Windows XP/Vista/7 system.
Turn on the Font Smoothing
Right click on the desktop and then Properties >> Appearance >> Effects. Then check the box for "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:" and select Standard (not the Cleartype).
Having done all this open this file again and you should be able to see the verse at the top of the page with properly smoothed edges.
Now you can use all the MS Office applications, Wordpad, Notepad, Dreamweaver, Photoshop (Middle Eastern version) and many other applications for Sindhi. Here is the Keyboard layout:
You can also use the system applet OnScreen Keyboard (which can be reached through Start >> All Programmes >> Accessories >> Accessibility) to view the keyboard layout in normal, shift, cntrl+alt and shift+cntrl+alt states. In MS Word you can use the Insert Symbol menu and select the characters and symbols which cannot be accessed through the keyboard directly.
A Note on Compatibility Issues
You may notice some differences between this and the earlier versions, which were unavoidable since this is the most complete and accurate version of standard Sindhi fonts so far. However, what is more important that you may also find some compatibility issues when you use Microsoft's core or system Arabic script fonts. Ideally and in principle there should be no such issues but we live in a world which is a little less than perfect. There are some issues relating to Sindhi letter Heh, Sindhi Comma and Sindhi Semi Colon due to which as of now a font has to be different in these areas. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved in time. I have also included Arabic full stop which can be accessed by pressing Right Alt and Full Stop key. You might want to use this full stop in the web pages if you find that normal full stop is not getting placed at the end of the line. You can now solve this by using Ctrl+relevant key.
Enjoy Sindhi Computing and promote it. I have done my service to the language and people of Sindh: now it is your turn. So use Sindhi on computers and the internet and encourage other Sindhis to do the same by distributing this free software to as many friends as you can.
