I'm sensing, I think, that you don't like that font, Khaled?
Dominik :-)
He’s not alone and the Arabic is not the only problem...

2013/12/5 Khaled Hosny <[email protected]>:
Please, please, please, never ever use GNU free font for Arabic; it is
the most hideous, crappy and useless un-Arabic font ever created, my
blood boils every time I see it in use.
Could you summarize what is wrong and report it?
All of it, the Arabic range is utter crap.
Steve White will
certainly fix it (unless it is better toreplace the whole Arabic
block).
I did, and even offered to work on replacement, but the offer was turned
down.
I see problems with dochachmee he, Urdu words as بھآرت and ؔٹھیک are
not displayed properly.
There is no point in looking at the microlevel, the whole thing is
worthless garbage and should be tossed in the nearest trash bin. Whoever
designed it has absolutely no idea about Arabic and its design, I take
it personally and find this garbage an insult to the Arabic script. Show
a text typeset with it to an Urdu speaker and he is likely to vomit in
disgust.
