KacstQr is incomplete



 Salam,
  As you know, I was working on a quran font a long time ago, and my
  work was mainly on Quranic glyphs, but I'm thinking that this thing will
  take a lot of time (I mean, completing the font, which Ossama started).
  Thus, I took the liberty to combine the two fonts (the one I'm working one
  and the one offered by KACST) to get a _complete_ quran font.
  Here is the 'combined' font:
   http://mhdyousif.hypermart.net/quran/KacstQr.ttf.bz2
  And yes, I'm saying it again, it's a COMPLETE Quran font!

  The glyphs I added:

     http://mhdyousif.hypermart.net/quran/3.jpg
     http://mhdyousif.hypermart.net/quran/4.jpg

  plus "Basmalla, small high sad".
  Most of them are unicode-compliant but there is a few which are not,
  they are:
    Al-Sefr Al-Mostateel Al-Qa'em (I mapped it to 0610)
    Khat Al-Sajda (I mapped it to 0614)
    Small High Sad (I mapped it to 0615)
    Tanween Morakkab (I mapped them to 0611, 0612, 0613)

  From the font KacstQr, I replaced the regular tanween (which were Morakkab
  and they are supposed to be Motatabeh(sequencial)) with the right ones too.

  Please see the scans above ([1-8].jpg)

  Now that we _have_ a complete Quran font, it's no more appropriate to still
  adopt quran.ar.xml in its current state, it should now be updated with the
  real quranic symbols (any volunteers?)
