No, they are not. They are developed by 'KACST' ;)

http://www.kacst.edu.sa/

We simply mirror them.

In fact, we have asked the people there _many, many_ times (I think not less 
than a dozen...) various questions about these fonts, on many occasions 
through the past years and months. We have asked some technical questions 
(mainly related to the Khotot project and ae_* fonts) and thus we aimed to 
enter in contact with a font expert... AFAIK, there was _zero_ answer from 
them.

Conclusion: you can try to contact the people there and signal this bug and 
ask to add Persian glyphs, but I'm very skeptical about any feedback 
concerning this question ;)

Salam,
