Khaled, I don't think we have discussed before. I'm glad to see someone is working on font development.
FYI, i have developed a Quran font that have complete symbol to render the Madinah Mushaf. You can find it at arabicfonts.wikisapces.com. As for the issues of small size display, I have a different opinion. In my opinion, hinting may not be the best solution. Instead, you may want to try embedding bitmap into the font. I have done this. You can see my font (modified from kacst) at http://mrykacstqurn.wikispaces.com/ that have the exact feature. At the moment, it only has 2 bitmap sizes, which is 16px and 21px ( I think, could not remember anymore). If you are interested to know more, I'm willing to share my experience.
