The Persian HM-FTX bundle of fonts offers a set of 228 Persian fonts which are
derived from the Metafont sources provided in the FarsiTeX distribution,
farsitex-1.0pre1, released in 2004 by Behdad Esfahbod.

The conversion from Metafont to TrueType has been done by a python program
which copies the glyphs from FarsiTeX fonts and pastes them to XBYas.ttf
provided in X Series 2 fonts released by Behnam at irmug.com.

These fonts, currently, work fine in Xepersian. A sample of all fonts are
included in 'HM_FTX-fonts-sample.pdf' file. If the fonts are installed
correctly, you can recreate the fonts sample by invoking the command:
"xelatex HM_FTX-fonts-sample.tex".

Please note that these fonts are beta release and may contain bugs. So any
comments and bug reports are appreciated. Please send your comments and
bug reports to this email address: dma8hm1334 AT gmail.com.

I will do my best to answer all the emails I receive, but, unfortunately,
time is a big hurdle to overcome; so, my apologies in advance for those
which I cannot make time to reply.

HM_FTX fonts are released under SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1.
