Greetings from Central Asia! I am a linguist working in Kyrgyzstan. Thank you for your excellent work. I would like to offer advice or input on making your fonts function for the Arabic script variants of Kyrgyz, Kazakh and Uigher. I don't have much experience making fonts, although I recently made one based on an old Kyrgyz text for the Academy of Sciences here in Bishkek. But I do know the issues related to these alphabets. I am particularly keen to see an adequate, publicly available font for the Kyrgyz Arabic script, as even the ones available in Northwest China are deficient (and no font that I know can properly render all of it's letters). I wrote a primer to help traders and linguists master that alphabet, but had to modify an existing font in order to properly display the text.
