Well Khaled was the maintainer of the Thabit font before he abandoned it, so he
must know of particular issues in the font that wont be getting fixed.

Other than Thabit, there is ALM Fixed and Kawab. Speaking with others, Kawab is
more useful to ALM Fixed, so if we had to include one that would the one to go
with, but neither of them are a courier new substitute. Liberation Mono doesnt
have arabic glyphs in it.

ALM Fixed - https://www.ctan.org/pkg/almfixed
Kawab - https://makkuk.com/kawkab-mono/
