Just wanted to say thanks so much for the Letterize widget! I often have to work with text that needs conversion (and refuse to drag everything through Word!) and have been doing it mostly by hand - hadn't seen this little beauty till now! It'll be a great help; thanks again. Regards,

خطك رائع يا أستاذ قاسم .ما شاء الله. أنا أعشق الخط غير أن الحظ لم يسعفني لتعلمه .لاأعرف كيف أصنع القلم .عمري الآن 64 سنة ولا أظن أنني ساتعلم... لك مني تحية تقدير وإعجاب. حفظك الله و رعاك.

ايقونتك جميلة جدًا. أرجو أن لا تغيرها.أما عن كتابتك للآية الكريمة.قد وضعتها كخلفية . وقد زارني صديق يعشق الخط مثلي فأعجب بها... لك مني ألف تحية وعين الله ترعاك يا ولدي. يحيى أبوعصام من الجزائر.
