Thanks AzizMostafa.
The 'muslimah' font doesn't compliment Trajan as much as I'd like - any other recommendations?

In fact I have to say that to me Muslimah is exactly a case of thinking that matching a typestyle across scripts is a matter of formal shapes. It's not. Instead I feel what's involved is the matching of a "mood": what Arabic font evokes to Arabs what Trajan evokes to Westerners? Maybe a thulooth. But that's hard to pull off with a font... So instead a particularly traditional Nasta'leeq perhaps.

BTW Aziz, where do the outlines of the Latin component of Muslimah come from?

@ Trajan @ Muslimah are complementary in ugliness!

> Any other recommendations?

@ If the text is full with marks, I recommend (Naskh Aziz) that is now topping http://maryamsoft.com/
But if the text has no or little marks, I recommend the pressed version (Naskh Mostafa)

I meant: is it derived from Adobe Trajan's outlines, or some other source?

@ Yes?!

If it's a case of redistributing outlines taken from a commercial font, that's not OK.

Many years ago I made this
http://themicrofoundry.com/ss_trajic.html
which re-uses Adobe Trajan's outlines (but does not include any unaltered glyphs). Over the years dozens of people have contacted me asking to buy it. I say no.

Hi Ashafi,

I'll recommended the following typeface to match Tarjan,

Manal, Alia, Babel and Muna.
Also: Fedra Serif will work.
Best Wishes,
