| 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. |
