I've to dig for it, I'm sure it is there somewhere. However, I've long
abandoned the idea of improving Scheherezade and instead concentrating
on my own (Amiri) font, but it does not work with MkIV right now (and
vowel marks are half done), so it is not a replacement yet. I do plan
for a simplified version of Amiri that would fulfil the original goal of
the modified Scheherezade font (and also developed in a way that works
with most of the current broken OpenType implementations, unlike the
current Amiri) and that one would be suitable as a default font, but
this is months away at best.

P.S. If any one interested in that Amiri font:

Regards,
 Khaled
