Package: font-hosny-amiri
Version: 0.001-1
Severity: minor

When I read the description of this package, I am not told that this is
an Arabic font until the very last paragraph of the description.  (I
suppose I could have figured it out from the reference to the Koran, but
I shouldn't have to.)  I'm not very familiar with Arabic typesetting, so
it isn't clear to me what a Naskh-style font is.

Please rephrase the description so that by (at latest) the first
paragraph I am told that this is an Arabic script font.  It might also
be useful to mention that it contains no Latin characters.
