Thanks Khaled,

the Naskh-Style is not an absolute requirement, but it is very well 
known and very common (at least for muslims in germany) - and it is very 
nice, of course, this is an question of flavor.

I know your font, of course, but I had always problems with it in 
typesetting quran. Maybe you can help?

See the following code:

\definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-quran.ttf*arabic at 15pt]
\definefont[arabicb][file:uthmantn1ver10.ttf*arabic at 17pt]
\starttext
      \setupalign[r2l]
      \arabicamiri ??? ?????? ????? ?????????? ????????? ???????????? ? 
????? ????????? ????????? ???????????? ??????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ? 
????????? ??????? ??? ?????????
\blank\blank
      \arabicb ??? ?????? ????? ?????????? ????????? ???????????? ? 
????? ????????? ????????? ???????????? ??????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ? 
????????? ??????? ??? ?????????\par
\stoptext

There are some issues within this example:

- overlapping letters (see "Aziyz")
- "bi ayaatillah" (overlapping of fatha and hamza)

And besides from that: It is not so harmonic like the other font, seems 
more like a not-caligraphic hand-font (no offense of course :))

But possibly I am making something very wrong, can you help me? Thank 
you very much. My project is to typesetting quran completely, and that 
is not easy without an perfect font. If you have a commercial variant 
with license, please inform me, our company would surely buy it.

Thanks and wassalam

Your text got corrupted somewhere in its way.

Funny, I always get complaints that it is too caligraphic for some
peoples taste. Besides, it is actually more closer to the authentic
Naskh style than Uthman Taha’s dumbed down Naskh.

That was my project too, but I got distracted building the perfect font
since none existed.
