+This is a 100dpi, 24 point (approximately) font that is meant to act as
+an example of what glyphs are needed to minimally support (almost) all
+of the Arabic characters available in Unicode.
+
+The encoding of this font is the encoding of Arabic from Unicode 2.0
+with the addition of some contextual forms and some other convenient
+glyphs that do not exist in Unicode. An additional file, "uniarab.txt",
+has been provided to describe the encoding of the extra contextual
+glyphs.
