I tried WorldPad from SIL (which I presume uses that renderer), but it  
would not even recognize my font! It would not recognize Adobe Arabic or  
Khaled's Thabit font either, so I suspect that WorldPad only recognizes  
ttf files. Actually, this is more than a suspicion: WorldPad does not  
recognize any of the otf's in \Windows\Fonts.

How odd!

Best wishes
