Arab calligraphy
Syed Hyder, one of the founders of the School of Computer Science at McGill University, Olivier Maquelin and Amar Goudjil (photo, with Syed Hyder), developed high-quality nonlinear context-sensitive Arabic fonts. One of the greatest hackers anywhere, Olivier wrote an in-house TrueType to PostScript converter in C in two afternoons. Paola Maleh and Laleh Tajrobekhar helped out with the programming. Laleh's brother in Iran, one of the leading calligraphers there, provided the team with wonderful Nastalique glyphs. Syed Hyder died in Pakistan on Easter Sunday, 2006. |
