1.	English written text uses two illustrations of Upper and Lower case
symbols for each letter.
2.	Conventional Arabic scripts use as many as 3-6 illustrations or
representations for each Arabic letter. Different representations are
used, depending upon different locations of the letters in the words. 
Four possible locations are:-
-	If a letter starts a word and lies in the beginning of that word
-	If the letter terminates a word and lies at the end of that word
-	That the letter lies in between two ends of the words, mentioned above.
-	The letter is located, independent of above mentioned three possibilities.

3.	I am a non-Arabic Muslim dedicated to Arabic Holy Quran.  I am the
author of `Single Case Arabic Font? (SCAF).  This font (or script)
uses only one single standard symbol or representation per letter, at
all four types of locations in word, mentioned in paragraph 2 above.
4.	I have reproduced whole of Arabic Holy Quran in multi coloured
?SCAF.? Since about two years, this Arabic Holy Quran is published on
following web site:
www.easyrecitearabic.org

5.	From the following article, I have learnt about some more
`single-symbol? or `single case? Arabic Fonts, developed by different
Arabs, during 20th century.
www.sakkal.com/articles/simplified_arabic/survey.html

6.	My question is:
a)	How many and what name brand versions of Arabic Holy Quran, have
been completed, reproduced and published, using ?single-symbol? or
?single-case? Arabic fonts, discussed above.
b)	How can I reach all of them and have more knowledge about such
fonts and the versions of Arabic Holy Quran(s) published on them.

7.	Thanks very much.

Khairulbashar, S. M.

Dear Khairulbashar
it is very much interesting for me to see your poting as recently I was
also thinking on arabic font just like you. arabic language as well as
persian and urdu are being written in similar way and in today's world
these are considered to be the most difficult languages in the world.To
make simple their is not need of simiplying to fonts but also to use
vowels as a letter instead of sign. I cannot express these vowels in english
language due to limitation of me vaculabary.However if you will visit my
site www.mushtaqsons.com and let me know your email adress we can discuss
it in a more better way.

To promote these font, I suggest you to contact saudi governemtn becasue
it is publishing Quran and is responsible to promotion of arabic language.
Once you will convience them, your font will be popular automatically.

with best wished
