And 'ROCK' are things we like :-)

Yeah, it would be great to get some of that talent helping us out
on the khotot project (Arabeyes' salvaged fonts).  I'm all for including
the missing farsi glyphs to them as well.

And included they will be - all we needed was someone to test 'em and
raise their voice.  Now that that has been done, we should see 'em in
the khotot project page (for mirroring purposes) along with a collage
hopefully within a day or two.

Roozbeh, if you want them included in the CVS, do let me know (ie. for
future development, etc).

PS: again, we really need some font-aware talent to help out.

Salam.
