arabic characters that resemble English letters, google might help you find
it..

Subject: [Scriptoris] Looking for a Western calligraphy hand with Arabic
style/influence

I am working on a scroll that needs to show some Spanish and 
Arabic/Moorish influences.  I have no problem finding references for the 
illumination, but I'd like to use a calligraphic hand with an Arabic 
style.  It does need to be Western (i.e. in English), not in actual 
Arabic.   (I am using the Alhambra Palace in Granada for some of my 
illumination references and the time period is the early to mid 1500's)

I have run across dead links to such a hand on various scribal web 
pages, but have been unable to find any live links or examples.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice.

In Service,
Alicia
