There is an modified version of scheherezade for TeX distros (Khaled and I played with it once upon a time) but I don't know where it is at the moment, as it's been ages since I worked on it. I thought it was part of the ConTeXt distro already but I could not find it. I'll check into it later.
Khaled, do you have that modified scheherezade somewhere?
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: http://amiri.sourceforge.net Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
