سانچو:Script/Arabic-international/doc

Description

Template intended to force following fonts if installed:

Droid Arabic Naskh (better at smaller sizes)
Scheherazade SIL International (lacks a bold weight)
Lateef SIL International (lacks a bold weight)
Amiri (does not display properly on Windows)

These fonts contain all Arabic character defined in Arabic Unicode for text in the various languages that use the Arabic script, but not all the redundant glyphs used in stylizing.

Arabic Transparent, Arial (essentially look the same and lack a few characters)
Microsoft Sans Serif (lacks a few characters and lacks a bold weight)
Segoe UI (lacks a few characters and lacks a normal weight)
Sakkal Majalla
Microsoft Uighur (lacks a few characters and lacks a bold weight)
Arabic Typesetting (lacks a bold weight)
