Good font but it's very small, and when I tried to resize it it became
ugly and bold.

This can be handled by using this font for Arabic only.
However, all these are work-arounds, Ossama has done a great job
creating a new font suitable for othmani script.
He has the characters already scanned but unable to get help making
the font.
Ossama, could you please put them somewhere so someone can
jump up and help?
I tried to contact KACST though Mr.Yousef ALHarthi:
alharthi at kacst dot edu dot sa
However, I didn't get any replies. :-(
Ossama, please don't give up the job is almost finished, you have
done the most challenging task and the rest is easier.
