Dr Boutros of Dar Assayad in Beirut kindly took the trouble to read my
various publications about Arabic typography. He summarized them into a
technical introduction to the review of Huda Smitshuijzen Abi Fares'
Comprehensive Sourcebook of Arabic Typography that I wrote for the April
issue of the Leiden academic journal Bibliotheca Orientalis. It is followed
by the review of the chapter on script identification by Mohamed Zakariya.
In addition to that, the veteran publisher and Arabic typography expert Samy
Dergham helped with the terminology and contributed an article about his own
work in this field. The article also contains an introduction to the concept
of Unicode.

The publication was timed to coincide with the Gulf Information Technology
Exhibition which is presently held in Dubai UAE.

I posted a PDF of the relevant pages of Al-Computer, Communications and
Electronics Magazine (in case it is difficult to obtain the original), to
which I added a copy of the original English article, for those who don't
read Arabic.
