+ 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.
