Great. Please download
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz
in the README file of which you fill find more information on how to
contribute to this font. In particular, you will need to install
a copy of xmbdfed to edit BDF files, which is available from
ftp://crl.nmsu.edu/CLR/multiling/General/
Also if you could cross-check the Arabic glyphs contributed to 9x15,
9x15B, and 10x20 by Karl Koehler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, this would be
highly useful.
You will also find in
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts-asian.tar.gz
a 12x13 doublewidth font for that fits to 6x13, and it might be
interesting to add to that one the alef-lam ligatures, to allow
experimentation with Arabic double-width ligatures as we discussed a few
days ago.
