  1. Open your browser. For now this works only on Chrome and Firefox. Chrome runs this script out of the box. If you use Firefox, you have to install greasemonkey first.
  2. Install a better Urdu font. I found Alvi Nastaleeq v1.0.0 to be best. You can also use "Fajer Noori Nastalique" or "Jameel Noori Nastalique". You might have to restart the browser for changes to take effect.
  3. Install the script and refresh the BBC Urdu page.
