Inpage 293c Top

Symptom: Character 293c looks fine at 14pt size but crashes into the line above at 24pt. Solution: InPage does not auto-adjust leading (line spacing) for ascenders in Nastaliq. Manually increase the leading (Format > Paragraph > Leading) by 20-30% more than the font size. For example, for 20pt text, set leading to 26pt to give code 293c room at the top.

Prevention is better than a crash. Follow these best practices: inpage 293c top

Guide: How to locate and apply instructions from a printed InPage manual (Page 293c, top)

  • Apply the tip – For example, if it says “set top margin to 1 inch” → go to Format → Page Setup → Top (or File → Document Setup in InPage 3).

  • Unicode Urdu characters have code points like U+0600 to U+06FF. However, "293c" is outside the standard Arabic block. In InPage’s proprietary encoding (used before full Unicode support), characters were mapped to internal IDs. "293c" (hex) might correspond to a specific ligature or diacritic. The "top" could indicate the above-base positioning of a diacritic (e.g., a Zabar, Pesh, or Madd).

    Practical Use: If you are using the Insert Character panel and searching for "293c," you may be trying to insert a rare Qur'anic symbol or a floating diacritic that sits at the top of the letter.
