Dear friend,

Arabic Typesetting, a font built specifically for Microsoft Word 2003
by the famous calligrapher and graphic designer, Mamoun Sakkal,
contains Arabic characters without any dots or hooks. This font is
also Unicode-compliant.

For examples of this award-winning font see:
http://www.sakkal.com/type/typesetting.html
http://www.middleeastmedievalists.org/ArabType.pdf

For details on how to acquire this font and reasons why to use this
font for both Arabic transliteration AND Arabic instead of creating
your own, read steps 6b.ii, 9a, and 9b of:

Best of luck,
al-Husein Madhany
