--- Comment #8 from Nemo <federicol...@tiscali.it> ---
This discussion has been going on for a while, but nothing can be done unless
the interested users find a font with an open source/free software license as
we did in bug 46693.

This AlQalam Taj Nastaleeq Open Font License is very long and doesn't allow
derivatives to use any other license. It's not compatible with the Open Font
License (OFL) and I doubt article 3.1.1 is compatible even with GPLv3 article
6, I mean the part which begins «The following must be also Redistributed
together with the Derived Program, or be made available online or by means of
mailing mechanisms in exchange for a cost which does not exceed the total costs
of postage, storage medium and handling fees [...]».

I see the authors reserved the right to update the license. Please write them
and ask to adopt the OFL
<http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL_web&_sc=1> or to get
approval of their license with this process: http://opensource.org/approval
Alternatively, test the Hussaini Nastaleeq font and let us know if its quality
is good enough for you: http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/hussaini-nastaleeq

When you're done with the above please post the results on bug 56939.
