These fonts are not considered official releases and may not provide a complete implementation of the script they represent. However, they can be useful for demonstrating Graphite's capabilities and learning how to program with GDL.

Arabic

An alpha version of the SIL's Scheherazade font with Graphite support for the entire Arabic Unicode block; therefore it will handle many languages other than Arabic whose characters are present in Unicode.

Note that this version of the font does not include OpenType tables and therefore will not behave correctly with Uniscribe. See the main Arabic Fonts page to download the official release of Scheherazade which include OpenType support.
