Re: Useful info for The Quran Project



Very nice, I am happy to see the Kacstqr font. It looks nice. It seems this 
package has replaced the old one with more polished, less size Arabic fonts.

I tried it for five minutes only but could find many inconsistencies. I will 
mention two now.
If you write
أراد
you will notice the Alef and Dal is so close together which is not beautiful 
at all.
Anothor issue is if you write the same word in kate or kwrite (in Kword it's 
Ok) the Alef won't appear which is serious enough. I confirmed it's not a kde 
issue because your Kacstqura is Ok but Kacstqr has this problem.

Finally, I am sorry if I seem discouraging but I've seen better fonts and 
won't open source to have the best of the best not that it works attitude. If 
you or anyone at Kacst would kindly publish tutorials in how they make the 
fonts and how to improve it, I think many will help and in a short time you 
will find  the fruits and this is how open source works.
