[general] Fwd: Khotot - Arabic fonts



Btw. in the meantime a chat member gave me links to scripts for Arabi, Persian and Urdu, but the second question still remains and of course: we would like to have really "nice looking fonts" for each language, so we are very interested in native speaker's opinions about which fonts to use.

Good evening!

My name is Sabine Emmy Eller and I am the CCO of Vox Humanitatis which is developing a multilingual dictionary called Ambaradan. In order to display the Arabic alphabet properly we are searching for Arabic fonts that are well visible and as complete as possible, since Arabic script is used for a variety of languages. I found your font project Khotot and downloaded the file. What I cannot find is which Unicode characters are covered by it. Do you have some indication on that can help us?

If you wish further information about the multilingual dictionary, please visit this link:
http://voxhumanitatis.org/content/ambaradan-owm2-storage-engine
As you might note: it is not just a dictionary, but can be used in many other ways, just to serve any contents in any language

Maybe a general co-operation for Arabic language could be a common goal? You also maintain a wordlist we could add to our dictionary so that people can easily work on it and also add to it, not only Arabic words, but also translations.

Tomorrow is your week-end holiday, so have a nice Friday!

Kind regards,

Sabine Emmy Eller
