For those on the internet: ftp to score.stanford.edu, cd to <tex.texhax>
and get fontmemo.txh. This is a rather large latex document (112K) by
Dominik Wujastyk (dow@wjh12.harvard.edu) that appeared in TUGboat v9#1.
It contains loads of information about a large number of TeXable fonts,
including Arabic. Here's a list of the sections:
\section{Introduction}
\section{Computer Modern}
\section{Devan\={a}gar\={\i}}
\section{Tamil}
\section{Telugu}
\section{Perso-Arabic}
\section{Hebrew}
\section{Greek}
\section{Cyrillic}
\section{Turkish}
\section{Japanese}
\section{Chinese}
\section{International Phonetic Alphabet}
\section{Elvish}
\section{Georgia Tobin}
\section{Blackboard Bold}
\section{APL}
\section{AMSfonts Package}
\section{Custom Fonts \& Pandora}
\section{Bitstream Font Family}
\section{Times Roman in \protect\MF} % use a big logo font if
\section{Lucida}
\section{Icelandic}
\section{OCR--A}
\section{Miscellaneous}
\section{The PostScript Question}
If you are unable to get this via ftp, or by copying the issue of TUGboat,
I can be persuaded to mail you a copy, or if there is sufficient interest,
I can post it here on comp.text. Of course, please respond via mail...
