Does Adobe have a Serif font that has all the characters needed to transliterate the Arabic language correctly?

    Although they are all sans serif, I have since found out that Adobe Arabic Myriad, Source Sans Pro, Hypatia Sans Pro all have the characters needed for Arabic transliteration.

    Best wishes

    Thanks for your help Miguel, Arno Pro and Garamond Premier Pro don't support those characters unfortunately. Thanks anyway!

    Arno Pro and Garamond Premier Pro may also support all those characters. Please check their Glyph Complement PDFs. I don't think any other serif families have support for all those characters.
