HM_XBS fonts are Persian fonts derived from X Series 2 fonts released by
Behnam at Irmug.com. In these fonts the solid dot shape zero, ARABIc-INDIC
DIGIT ZERO (uni0660, uni066F), is changed to hollow circular zero and the
glyphs with YEH ABOVE is changed to the glyphs with HAMZA ABOVE, e.g. ARABIC
LETTER HEH WITH YEH ABOVE ISOLATED FORM (uniFBA5) has been changed to ARABIC
LETTER HEH WITH HAMZA ABOVE ISOLATED FORM.

These changes has been done by a python program which copies and pastes the
glyphs in each font of X Series 2 fonts.

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_XBS-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.
