The most celebrated feature of InPage 3.20 was its unparalleled handling of the Nasta`līq script. Unlike simpler Arabic scripts, Nastaliq is highly context-sensitive, with the shape of letters changing dramatically based on their position in a word. InPage 3.20 mastered this by utilizing a vast library of over 20,000 ligatures (pre-designed character combinations) that allowed the on-screen display to look incredibly faithful to hand-written calligraphy. It provided automatic kerning in Nastaliq text to remove extra inter-word space, giving the text a polished, calligraphic look that was the industry standard.

InPage 3.20 solved the "Nastaliq Problem." In Urdu, context is everything. The shape of a letter changes entirely depending on whether it stands alone, sits at the start, middle, or end of a word. InPage 3.20’s engine processed these ligatures in real-time. For a user, this felt like magic. You typed a character, and the software instantly calculated the shape it needed to be, connecting it fluidly to its neighbors.
