I'll package it for Debian soon to get some feedback! Great, thanks :-)

Please did you manage to drop the ae_ prefix from the fonts' name.

I am using the following script to do it in the Debian packages:

#!/usr/bin/fontforge
# Drop the ae_ prefix in the Arabeyes fonts

i=1
while ( i<$argc )
  Open($argv[i])
  name=Strsub( $fontname, 3 )
  SetFontNames( name, name, name )
  Generate($argv[i]:r + ".ttf")
  i = i+1
endloop
