    longDescription = ''
      Scheherazade, named after the heroine of the classic Arabian Nights tale,
      is designed in a similar style to traditional typefaces such as Monotype
      Naskh, extended to cover the Unicode Arabic repertoire through Unicode
      8.0.

      Scheherazade provides a “simplified” rendering of Arabic script, using
      basic connecting glyphs but not including a wide variety of additional
      ligatures or contextual alternates (only the required lam-alef
      ligatures). This simplified style is often preferred for clarity,
      especially in non-Arabic languages, but may not be considered appropriate
      in situations where a more elaborate style of calligraphy is preferred.

      This package contains the regular and bold styles for the Scheherazade
      font family, along with documentation.
