Hello everyone! The design team at Canonical have been working on a new
Arabic font and we were hoping to get some feedback. I am contacting you
because you were identified as someone who speaks Arabic or a related
language that shares the Arabic Alphabet. If you are interested in helping
out and testing this font, we would appreciate your help. I've placed the
links below to the font, as well as an example rendition.

If you would install the font, and utilize it while using your system that
would be wonderful. If not, simply disregard this mail :-)

While testing, look for any weird rendering issues or incompatibilities
with applications you might be using. If you are curious about how to
install and change fonts in ubuntu, I would refer you to this AskUbuntu
question,
http://askubuntu.com/questions/19770/how-do-i-change-fonts-and-adjust-their-size
.

After installing and using the font for a few days, please email back and
let us know your feedback and any issues you may have found while using the
font. Thanks in advance for your help! Either way, we appreciate all you do
for ubuntu.

Nicholas
