Unfortunately I don't have a list, but we are working on some fonts which
will definitely support it. But I don't guess you will be able to get them
working on Windows 2000 as Windows 2000's layout engine just supports
Unicode 2.0. I am working on finding a mechanism for replacing the engine
with a newer one, also from Microsoft, that supports the HAMZA ABOVE
character.

Please note that trying to be standard-compliant on a platform with broken
support, and without being able to fix it, is very hard. My recommendation
is use anything that suits your users best, if you can't fix the
underlying platform or write a layout engine for your application. Having
a piece of *working* software is usually better than having a broken
standard-compliant one.
