Reply To: Applying Diacritical marks for transliteration of Arabic language

First, I must say, I admire your tactful style in your replies. I have just run into a similar problem where I was about to change a text to Academically correct Arabic transliteration in English for the purpose of an Ebook and then realized, I don’t know if I am correct or not, that I could transliterate and then someone using a different font might not be able to read the transliteration in the resulting Ebook. It occurs to me that I may be better off not doing dots and macrons for my purpose, a downloadable Ebook, but staying with my own Ascii transliteration which I used in the DOS program that created the original document. The list you provided of fonts that in theory work, but do not necessarily exist in all faces, is most useful
