Kitab\n\nKitab, based on [Scheherazade](https://software.sil.org/scheherazade/), is an Arabic font\nwith a design based on traditional typefaces such as Monotype Naskh,\nextended to cover the full Unicode Arabic repertoire.\n\nIt is also designed to support rendering [Quranic text](https://github.com/quranacademy/quran-text) in a Unicode-compliant manner.\n\n## Changes\n\n- Increased the base font size.\n- Decreased the base line height.\n- Added the Basmalah (U+FDFD), ﷺ, and ﷻ characters from Amiri.\n- Replaced the angle quotes and ayah quotes with Amiri's (i.e., «» and ﴿﴾).\n- Replaced U+06E0 (small high upright rectangular zero) with Amiri's.\n- Added laam hamzah alif ligature (i.e., لا but with a hamzah in the middle).\n  This is needed for Quranic orthography (e.g. الـٔاخرة).\n  Currently there is no pure Unicode solution for this\n- The width of ۩ (U+06E9) was increased.\n- A slight curve was added to U+0670 (Small alif).\n- Numerous collision fixes.\n\nThe follow glyphs were enlarged:\n- U+06E4 (Small high maddah)\n- U+06DB (Small high 3 dots)\n- U+06D8 (Small high meem initial form)\n- U+06E5 (Small waaw)\n\nThe following glyphs were made to be lower on \"the line\" when in a word.\n- U+0654 (Hamzah above) (أَنۢبِـُٔونِی)\n- U+06E7 (Small high yaa) (ٱلنَّبِیِّـۧنَ)\n- U+06E4 (madd) when on top of U+06E6 (small yaa) (یَسۡتَحۡیِۦۤ)\n\nThe following honorifics were added (note: these honorifics are set to be included in Unicode 14)\n- U+FDFE (سبحانه وتعالى)\n- U+FDFF (عز وجل)\n- U+FD40 (رحمه الله)\n- U+FD41 (رضي الله عنه)\n- U+FD42 (رضي الله عنها)\n- U+FD43 (رضي الله عنهم)\n- U+FD44 (رضي الله عنهما)\n- U+FD45 (رضي الله عنهن)\n- U+FD47 (عليه السلام)\n- U+FD4D (عليها السلام)\n- U+FD48 (عليهم السلام)\n- U+FD49 (عليهما السلام)\n\n## Subsetting and compressing\n\n- `./subset.mjs` (requires [pyftsubset](https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools) and [zx](https://github.com/google/zx)) -- it will output `build/{kitab-base,kitab-base-bold,kitab-phrases}.{woff,woff2}`\n\n## CSS\n\n```css\n@font-face {\n  font-family: Kitab;\n  src: url(/assets/kitab-base.woff2);\n  unicode-range: U+200?, U+60C, U+618-61B, U+61F, U+621-63A, U+640-655, U+65C, U+660-66C, U+670-671, U+6CC, U+6D4, U+6D6-6DD, U+6DF-6E8, U+6EA-6ED, U+8F0-8F3, U+FD3E-FD3F, U+FDF2;\n}\n@font-face {\n  font-family: Kitab;\n  src:

itertools.groupby(enumerate(i), lambda pair: pair[1] - pair[0]):\n        b = list(b)\n        yield b[0][1], b[-1][1]\n\ndef unicode_range(chars):\n    ints = sorted([ord(c) for c in set(chars)])\n    groups = list(ranges(ints))\n    groups1 = [(hex(a), hex(b)) for a, b in groups]\n    groups2 = [(f'{a}-{b}' if a != b else a) for a, b in groups1]\n    return ', '.join(groups2).replace('-0x', '-').replace('0x', 'U+').upper()\n```\n\n## License\n\nThis font software is free to use, modify, and redistribute\naccording to the terms of the [SIL Open Font
