Scheherazade and Lateef are extended Arabic script fonts designed
|
| 7 |
by SIL International for modern Unicode-based systems using either
|
| 8 |
OpenType or AAT (Apple Advanced Typography) for complex-script
|
| 9 |
rendering. They support virtually all of the Unicode 4.1 Arabic
|
| 10 |
character repertoire (excluding the Arabic Presentation Forms
|
| 11 |
blocks, which are not recommended for normal use). Each typeface
|
| 12 |
is currently available in Regular weight only.

Scheherazade, named after the heroine of the classic Arabian
|
| 15 |
Nights tale, is designed in a similar style to traditional
|
| 16 |
typefaces such as Monotype Naskh, extended to cover the full
|
| 17 |
Unicode Arabic repertoire.
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Lateef is named after Shah Abdul Lateef Bhitai, the famous Sindhi
|
| 20 |
mystic and poet. It is intended to be an appropriate style for use
|
| 21 |
in Sindhi and other languages of the South Asian region.
