Naqsh is a free OpenType font by Lateef Sagar Shaikh with tons of diacritics for a handwritten Mistral-like character set, as well as a full Arabic character set with appropriate opentype tables for the Nastalique way of writing context-sensitive Arabic. The Latin part was designed by Umar Rashid. A nice effort. The font can in principle also be used for ordinary Western text. Total number of glyphs: 1815. Compliant with many Unicode tables.
