Font Naskhd.shx Exclusive Info

I notice you're asking about a font file named "Font Naskhd.shx" — but there are a few things worth clarifying, as this seems to be a typo or confusion with actual font names.

If you need Arabic script in AutoCAD:

• Use TrueType fonts (e.g., Traditional Arabic, Arial) for proper Arabic rendering.
• AutoCAD's .SHX fonts are not recommended for Arabic, Persian, or Urdu due to missing contextual shaping.
