Another Amiri font release in less than month (release early, release often ;). The main feature of this release is brand new bold and bold slanted fonts, so now we cover the four common styles, though more work on polishing them still needed. Check News file for more detailed changes of this release (Arabic, English)

Yet another Amiri font release with yet another jump in version number, this time to mark the move from alpha stage to beta stage :) (my versioning scheme makes no sense, but so is life).

Yet another developmental release of Amiri font, this time featuring a, more or less, complete Quranic support, which fixes the last major issue with the font, and I think it is only a couple of more alpha releases before it is ready to enter beta stage.

Just released version 5.0 of KacstOne font, the new release features a new bold version of the font, it should also be possible now to copy text from PDF files using KacstOne, also the problematic kern feature have been removed as it was causing more problems (both Qt and OpenOffice have bugs in handling of right to left kerning) and a simplistic font like KacstOne can do without kerning at all (I had to fix the advance widths of certain glyphs the needed kerning more).

Another developmental release of Amiri font, marking a major developmental milestone.

Amiri was developed using a novel, and natural, approach of separating dots from base of the glyph and treating them as diacritical marks (which what they really are), this allowed much more flexibility than the more conventional approach of treating the dot and its base as a whole.

In the early developmental stages things were fine, but as the need for more complex tasks surfaced, things were getting

Though v1.010 was promised to be the last release, I'm resuming work on the fonts, so here is a new beta of XITS fonts, featuring mainly support for right-to-left math which have been the main motivate behind the project, though never made it to any of the released versions (only supported by LuaTeX for now, more on that later).

The reduced Bulaq typecase, casted in 1950 to simplify the original, 1910, typecase, cutting it from 470 to 238 glyphs (not counting vowel marks).

A new bug fix release of Amiri font, fixing two serious Windows bug; one related to Lellah form and the other results in wrong placement of final Yaa dots.
