Assalamou Alaikom,
I found some really excellent fonts that can be downloaded from
www.motken.com
but I'm not sure about the license (although you can download them for
free). One
of these fonts is called Othmani and it's really excellent almost like
the one I wanted
to create. Only one problem with this font is that when you add any
Hamza-3ala-Korsi
it comes below the line instead of above it!! Anyway, maybe you can give
it a try.

I suggest to use this font for qtquran and gnomequran instead of M$ tahoma, it looks very closer to the 3othmany font
look at this screen shot

the font is "kacst quran" which came with kacst font set

the bad thing is it is ugly for English letters :(
