@Sam Neil and @thomaso This is for both of you. First write something in the MS Word then make a copy and apply the same paste special method. Sam Neil I have used your reference lalezar font and its working in both the Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo. And if there is no paste special option it could probably be the older version.

You cannot type in Arabic, Hindi or Urdu, but there is a way to do it. Type any thing in MS Word copy the text go to Edit > Paste Special in Affinity and select "Enhanced Windows Metafile". Hope that should solve your problem for the time being.
