Some web search should reveal that some of these fonts are still distributed elsewhere by their original designers under a non-free license. Arabeyes do not design these fonts (I know be cause I used to maintain them at some point) and the person who released these fonts under GPL never answered my queries about the source of these fonts. > details of what the fuzzy legal status relates to? > Khaled: For Arabeyes fonts, is there some link you can provide that has more (In reply to Yousuf Philips (jay) from comment #2)

* Tholoth from Arabeyes Project as a Thuluth styled fontįor writer, we would default to either Amiri or KACSTOffice.įor calc, we could default to DejaVu Sans, as it is the closest sans-like arabic font available similar to Tahoma. * A few Kufi styled fonts from Arabeyes - Al Arabiya, Granada, and/or Mashq * Scheherazade from SIL International (similar to Traditional Arabic) * KACSTOffice from Arabeyes Project (similar to Simplified Arabic) * Khaled's Amiri font (similar to Arabic Typesetting) So similar to LO bundling open source fonts like Liberation and DejaVu fonts to ensure interoperability of latin-based documents, we should bundle a few arabic fonts and default to use them. LibreOffice currently prefers to use proprietary arabic fonts when available rather than open source fonts and this doesn't improve the interoperability of documents.
