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?
The modified Scheherezade is called SimpleNaskhi.ttf, I assume Khaled has the latest version. Hans, Mojca: I suggest going ahead and making SimpleNaskhi the default arabic-script unicode fallback for MkIV: \definefontfeature[simplearabic] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab, init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,calt=yes, rlig=yes,curs=yes,mark=yes,mkmk=yes] It is a very unicode-complete font, while -- as the name suggests -- quite simple in features. For fallbacks we need: [arabic,arabicpresentationformsa,arabicpresentationformsb, arabicsupplement,0x200C,0x200D] we have to play with rscale to get the right balance with LM I guess... If SimpleNaskhi is somehow broken or unavailable then we just go with ScheherazadeRegOT.ttf as the default font. [BTW: I think we discussed this 18 months or so ago...] Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shīʿī Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
