Scheherazade and Lateef are extended Arabic script fonts designed
|
|
by SIL International for modern Unicode-based systems using either
|
|
OpenType or AAT (Apple Advanced Typography) for complex-script
|
|
rendering. They support virtually all of the Unicode 4.1 Arabic
|
|
character repertoire (excluding the Arabic Presentation Forms
|
|
blocks, which are not recommended for normal use). Each typeface
|
|
is currently available in Regular weight only.
|
|
|
|
Scheherazade, named after the heroine of the classic Arabian
|
|
Nights tale, is designed in a similar style to traditional
|
|
typefaces such as Monotype Naskh, extended to cover the full
|
|
Unicode Arabic repertoire.
|
|
|
|
Lateef is named after Shah Abdul Lateef Bhitai, the famous Sindhi
|
|
mystic and poet. It is intended to be an appropriate style for use
|
|
in Sindhi and other languages of the South Asian region.
