I have been using the Nafees Nastaliq font from CRULP
and I am quite sure that it is an Urdu font unless
you are using the term in a different sense than what
I understand it to mean. It contains the Arabic letters
necessary for writing Urdu in the Nastaliq style, Unicode
encoded. I have even corresponded with Dr. Sarmad Hussain
about this font as there was an error in it (the year sign
sanah U+0601 was not "pure" but had the dochashmi he used
to indicate that it is the year A.H. rather than the year
C.E. built-in). An English font would not have sanah in it.
Perhaps you are not installing the fonts correctly?
