Quite unfortunate that this is the case (though i knew you used to maintain
them :D).

It is mentioned in the font description that "KACST holds the copyright of the
included Arabic font which is donated under GPL by KACST", so as they didnt
mention which version of the GPL, we shouldn't distribute it?

Have seen the fonts at google fonts before, do you have any recommendations?
