Kufi with Sans (masquerading as the Arabic block of Droid Sans) and Naskh
with Serif the same way (see the long fontconfig ruleset I referenced)
http://www.29arabicletters.com/foundry/?m=1-1-1&fid=26
states Naskh was designed to complement Serif
and
https://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=17382
that chromium uses Kufi with Sans
That may have been the case, but it is my personal understanding that we
should dispatch Naskh with both Sans and Serif. Kufi is a horrible font for
body text.
