Re: finding a good Arabic font

You may want to try my font, mry_kacst at wikispaces. It is a truetype
font with embedded bitmap. It has 2 bitmap sizes, 12 pt (16 pixel) and
16 pt (21 pixel?) . It has Opentype support, it that is what you want.

I know TTF would be usable.  I'm not sure which bitmap font types are
usable in Linux, but if you know a Linux-compatible bitmap font type that
would also be OK.

what kind of font are you looking for TTF or bitmap? I think bitmap
fixed size font look better at small size.
