Re: Arabic Alphabet

Hi Emily.

Since you seems interested in Arabic (or at least the Arabic script), I have
a question for you.

In Yannis Haralambous' book "Fontes & codages - Glyphes et caractères à
l'ère du numérique" (ED O' Reilly), on page 786(*) (chapitre D, Formats de
fontes TrueType, OpenType et AAT), there's a sample Arabic text written with
a very nice font:  Decotype Naskh.
I try to find that font in the OpenType format, but all I found is a
TrueType version of it with rather limited possibilities.
The Web site given in reference
(http://diwww.epfl.ch/w3lsp/conferences/ridt98/decotype.html) contains no
link and Decotype's home page (http://www.decotype.com/) doesn't help me
more.
What could I do?

page.
