Sahl Naskh font

===============

Sahl (Arabic for even, easy, convenient) is a fork of *Droid Arabic Naskh*

font, fixing some of the issues in the original font.

Changes:

* Quranic annotation marks:

 - Made U+06E4 bigger, it was tiny and almost invisible!

 - Changed U+06E0 to be a small 0, not a black rectangle!

 - Changed U+06DF to be a small sukun, not black circle!

 - Changed U+06E1 to not be a small initial haa!

* Increased the distance between vowel marks and base letter, they were too

  close to be readable.

* Removed the Riyal ligature, this symbol should be used directly if needed,

  not automatically replace the Arabic word riyal.

* Added GDEF ligature caret, just in case any application begins to support

  them.

* Merged the Droid Serif in the font, so that it covers Latin and punctuation

  marks.

* Raised the isolated Noon to the baseline, as it looks out of place next to

  Waw, Raa or even Alef (the glyphs it is likely to come next to).

* Fixed the position of Hamza below Lam-Alef; it was placed under the Lam!
