@laerm0 There are some other interesting fonts from this designer and their collaborators. I just don't have time to review all the work but maybe you can explore https://github.com/aminabedi68 a bit more and add issues for anything else that looks worth adding.

https://github.com/rastikerdar Is also worth looking at.

Since this has fontforge sources and @yanone is out for summer soon, I'm reassigning to @eliheuer

The issue with these two fonts wasn't the sources. It's that the author insists on a KSHD axis. Which I could generally understand, but their implementation is actually more like a width axis, as each glyph extends to both sides at the same time, which is not how kashidas work. There is no understanding on the author's side and no feasible way to move forward.
