Yet another developmental release of Amiri font, this time featuring a, more or less, complete Quranic support, which fixes the last major issue with the font, and I think it is only a couple of more alpha releases before it is ready to enter beta stage.

The start of Baqara chapter

Here is the full release notes:

Amiri 0.016 (2011-09-22), Beginning of the End

  • This release features full Quranic support, another major developmental milestone, more work still needed in refining glyph interaction specially mark positioning in fully vocalised text such as Quran.

  • New glyphs:
    • All Quranic annotation marks in Unicode 6.0.
    • All other Arabic vowel marks in Unicode 6.0.
    • Radical (U+221A) including a RTL variant, and other Arabic radicals (U+0606, U+0607).
    • Arabic ray (U+0608).
    • Afghani sign (U+060B).
    • Arabic sign Misra (U+060F).
    • New contextual shape for initial meem followed by medial heh, as in مها.
  • Kerning:
    • Decreased the number of kerning pairs from 411240 to 55850 while retaining the same functionality.
  • Fixes:
    • General cleanup of punctuation marks, fixing spacing of brackets and making curly brackets more bolder to fit wit the rest of the font.
    • Made the space glyph 600 units wide.
    • Fixed erroneous tatweel (kashida) insertion in full justification.
    • Wider forms of some glyphs to avoid mark clash in full vowelisation.
    • Underline position is now lower than most glyphs with descendants.
    • Various mark positioning fixes.
    • Separate the ring of Kashmiri yeh from the body of base glyph, following Kashmiri orthographic traditions.
