Why an Illustrator use page
In a logo every letter counts, and a missing join is spotted at once. Yet Illustrator only sets Arabic correctly with its Middle Eastern options and the right paragraph composer. Files also travel a lot between agencies, printers and sign makers, who do not always have those settings. That is the reason for this page: it groups the keyboards able to supply text that stays readable from one computer to the next.
What the Arabic keyboard offers
The Arabic keyboard for Illustrator page walks you through it step by step, with the settings for recent versions and tips specific to vector work: stretching a word without breaking its joins, outlining at the right moment, and picking a font that contains the forms you need. The conversion panel is available there for versions and programs that line letters up backwards.
Persian and Urdu too
Other right-to-left scripts with joined letters benefit too: the Persian and Urdu keyboards include the same conversion panel for your logos and posters. Meanwhile, if your project spans several media, also see the Photoshop use page for raster visuals.
