I'm not talking about the technology ! I'm talking about the style: as you know, style differ for Arabic/Persian/Urdu/... when it comes to the visual display of the letters.

I'm talking about Khotot ones not KACST http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=Khotot There is a wide choice of styles among these fonts and they're quite nice (except for the Latin chars which are now... well, 'ugly' ;). You should take a look at them. Anyway, you take the full responsability of your declarations about KACST fonts :-)) Salam, - -- Youcef R.
