For space economy, only the Naskh font is available by default.
With \LaTeX, additional fonts can be loaded by the document style options
{\tt "nashbf"} (for bold-face) 
and/or {\tt "nastaliq"} (when available).
Users of Plain \TeX\ are considered specialists and have to define 
and load suitable fonts at the required sizes themselves.
                                                  \index{naskh}
                                                  \index{font!naskh}
                                                  \index{default font}
                                                  \index{font!default}
                                                  \index{font!bold}
                                                  \index{option!nashbf}
                                                  \index{option!nastaliq}

The following font selection commands are available:
                                                  \index{font!selection}

\begin{itemize}

\item \verb"\setnash" (default) selects the Naskh font.
                                                  \index{\setnash}

\item \verb"\setnashbf" selects a bold-face version of Naskh.
                                                  \index{\setnashbf}

\item \verb"\setnastaliq" selects the Nasta`liq font.
                                                  \index{\setnastaliq}

\end{itemize}

If a font is not available or has not been loaded,
the corresponding command will select the default font.
                                                  \index{naskh}
                                                  \index{font!naskh}
                                                  \index{default font}
                                                  \index{font!default}
                                                  \index{unavailable font}
                                                  \index{font!unavailable}

With \LaTeX,
the size changing commands will also operate on the additional fonts.
                                                  \index{size changing}
                                                  \index{commands!size changing}
