The Persian HM-XBS bundle of fonts offers a set of 246 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 have been done by a python program which copies and pastes the
glyphs in each font of X Series 2 fonts.

These fonts are expected to work just as fine as the original X Series 2 fonts
released by Behnam at irmug.com. A sample of all fonts are included in
'HM_XBS-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 DOT 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.

Persian HM-XBS fonts are released under SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1.
