  Masha'Allah, it's really nice :) The words at the end of the extending line are broken though, which should be fixed!
  Thank you for the TTF font, it's really great and I'll try to print out some samples and take them back to the calligrapher to make sure 100% that the shaping is correct and complete.
  Finally, I'd like to participate in the process of adding the missing signs in the quran.ar.xml file, but how can we synchronize updates?
Wouldn't it better to separate the file into separate Suras (like wordlist files for example). Just a thought.. :)
