Hello Edo and Huda.
I do not know about Winsoft's various fonts, but recently I have heard about Tasmeem and made a point to find out what it is about. The inventor of the system Mr. Thomas Milo of Decotype www.decotype.com/ and your neighbor being in Amsterdam, explains the system in terms of reproducing the old naskh scripts. Your criticism that its is a "1001 Nights approach" to Arabic typography is understandable - in fact I have made a similar point in my earlier 1974 writing in Arabic (republished on my khtt page) that the aim of typography is not merely to imitate calligraphy. Having said that and hearing a video explanation by Mr. Milo about his system I now say- "why not?". More than that I see that Tasmeem is much more than just a method to imitate an ancient script, remarkable as that achievement is.
In its basic approach typography as we all practice it today is attaching glyphs domino-block style one next to the other, a system virtually unchanged since the days of Gutenberg. Indeed in your matchmaking efforts you sort of expect Arabic to fit this sort of geometrical regimentation, because it seemed to most people that this is what typography is all about.
The genius of Arabic handwritten script is the way it flows together in a harmonious whole. It is a dynamic organic way of attaching basic component shapes together not just along the horizontal stem but in various levels according to the curves of the letters. Mr. Milo's approach to creating Arabic is very sophisticated a revolutionary method applicable to any script in any language, new or old. He analyzed the basic geometrical curves that make up all the letters and allowed the computer to discover the best ways to link them together in the best way for any particular font it displays. It is a misunderstanding of Tasmeem that it is merely a system to mimic the old naskh - the system can be of great value for the automatic kerning of modern typefaces, even the development of completely new Arabic fonts undreamed of by the genii of the Arabian Nights!
In the interests of Arabic typography please consider inviting Mr. Milo to explain his ingenious system to the members of khtt and to Arab typographers in general.
I appreciate what you are doing but have only one wish for khtt that it becomes more of a give and take between the many amazing members. Perhaps the main page can stress what is new in the forums, like the Typophile site does. With warm best wishes.
