Salaam alaykum,

I currently use a 0.7mm ballpoint to write my Arabic notes, but it doesn't always pick up letters like fā (ف), lām (ل), and alif (ا) properly. It skips especially on right-to-left strokes, which means I have to go over the same letter a second time. Scribbling on a scrap of paper to get the ink flowing again doesn't help either.

I'm considering switching to a fountain pen for this, ideally one that doesn't write too wet, so the ink doesn't bleed through to the next page and make my writing on that side unreadable.

Tips and experiences are very welcome, as well as honest advice on whether a fountain pen is even a good idea for this purpose in the first place.
