Re: Usable arabic font

[Chahibi Youssef <chahibi at gmail dot com>]

1- Test tahoma, you'll be sure that it persuades that it's possible to
have a good arabic font
2- Test ClearU, ugly gnu font but proportional to latin characters
3- Test Roya, looks like a less simplified Tahoma, good, but not
proportional latin characters
4- Install Fontforge, play with it.
5- I am ready to make an easy to read lightweight arabic-latin font
based on the good gnu fonts ( roya, kacst, arabeyes, farsi ...), are
you ready to help me ?
