Some other Faux Arabic; these are so authentic looking that you have to look twice to realize that it's roman text. Afarat ibn Blady (free from barmee.com) Arabdream (Linotype) Catharsis Bedouin (free, unknown source) KaraBenNemsi (free from Manfred Klein) (the free ones are easily found) Others still give the same feel, but are easier to read: LTPideNashi (Linotype) Pseudo Saudi (Iconian fonts) First Order (Iconian fonts) Caliph (Ragnorak / Scriptorium) Bavand (Free, source unknown) Arabica (by C. H. Wunderlich 1995; nice shapes, poor implementation. A corrected version is available but hard to find) Arabia Felix (Judith Sutcliffe, The Electric Typographer) Aladdin (Old clone by WSI - I forget of what - very common) - Herb
