The following is taken from Bitstream Ink, 4.7 (undated), incorporated in a     Bitstream brochure entitled Newsletter Guidelines.  Since I do not think that 
the information is widely known, I would like to post it here.

"In addition to a library of more than 1000 Latin typefaces, Bitstream also
 offers a growing range of non-Latin typefaces.  This foreign library consists
 of such typefaces as Greek, Amharic, Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Tai Dam,
 Laotian and Kanji in NIS Gothic and Mincho.  To enhance this library Bitstream
 worked with a distinguished British expert in non-Latin typography, Walter
 Tracy.  

 For well over a year, Bitstream has been providing OEMs with high-quality
 Kanji fonts and in 1988 introduced "Smart Kanji" in outline form.  Moreover,
 Bitstream offers an extensive set of phonetic characters.

 Bitstream's non-Latin policy supports our OEMs in two ways.  Our technology
 is sold to OEMs selling their equipment in countries where Latin type is
 not used and to domestic companies who publish internationally, such as 
 missionary organizations.

 In order to respond to new markets, Bitstream has other programs in 
 development.  Bitstream is in the process of designing a second simplified
 Arabic, to be called Malik, available in light and bold, and a traditional
 Arabic, Medina, also available in two weights.  In addition Bitstream will
 introduce Sharif, a new Arabic design for headlines, to be available in 
 light, medium, and bold.  These typefaces are being designed with laser
 printer production in mind in order to work well with both desktop
 publishing and typesetting devices.

I gather that these fonts are not available directly, but only to OEMs.
Does anyone have any additional information on them?
