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.

OK: In that case, let's include the standard Scheharezade as is in the minimals until another unicode-complete font comes along. It has an Open Font License so should be no problem.

Miojca: Till then, where do you suggest placing Scheharezade in the tree?

tex/texmf/fonts/truetype/public/scheharezade ? -- luigi
