From: Abdul-Majid Bhurgri
A few days ago Gul-Agha asked, “Where can one install all the fonts?” And I promised that I will develop an installer which will do this. I have now developed a compact and easy MBFonts Installer. This automatically installs 25 Sindhi Unicode fonts to the system. It is available for download at following:

• Executable Installer (can be run directly without the need to decompress)
• Zipped Installer (needs to be decompressed before being run)

The download links are also given in the Downloads section of Sindhi Computing forum.

I thank Abdus-Sattar Samo (Zargar), Mansoor Pirzada/Shakoor Qazi, Agha Sabir, Irfan Bhutto, Abdul-Aziz Mangrio, Shabeer Kumbhar and other developers of these fonts for providing these valuable resources free of charge just for the love of their language and land. In fact we all owe them thanks and the way we can say it is by acknowledging their work and mention at least a line of thanks in the publications and webpages where we use these fonts.This gesture will encourage others also to work selflessly for their ideals.

I request you all to disseminate this message far and wide on Sindhi and Sindh related email lists and websites so that maximum Sindhis can take full advantage of this invaluable free resource for Sindhi language. I also request you for your feedback and comments. As more fonts become available, I will keep on updating the installer acordingly.

Thanks you all. Promote use of Sindhi on computers and the internet.

New Sindhi Installer for Vista & XP

Dear Friends,
Now that Windows Vista has been released, some of you may already have installed it and others will start using at some point in the future.
I observed that old installers do not work on Vista. Accordingly I have made a new MBSindhi2007 installer which works on Vista as well as on XP. Also, this is easier to use. Once you have extracted the files (by chosing Extract All… option as you right click on the downloaded folder), simply run the MBSindhi2007 installer and it will automatically take care of complete installation. Unlike before, you do not have to go to control panel, add language and chose the keyboard. All these steps are automated in this new installer. The link for downloading the new installer is http://bhurgri.com/MBSindhi2007.zip

Use Sindhi on computers and encourage others to do so.

With best wishes,

Abdul-Majid Bhurgri
