Hello,,thank you for this awesome extensions. It help me much for my tasks . I made some changes in the appearances and add some macro for my purpose only. I don't change the main contents like Qur'an transliterations and just to keep it original, I hope you don't mind.
I know the language script for the Surah names are using Indonesia Language/Dialect (Bahasa),so I change it into universals, and I also make a change of the name of text type ( .ttf ) into more option to choose by user.
Best regards,

A very useful extension indeed. Thanks a lot for your work. This will make work a lot easier.
However, I have noticed a little issue I hope you'll consider: names of surahs are transcribed in a very unusual fashion and, if read according to standard transcription in English, they are read incorrectly. E.g. "Adh-Dhuhaa" is read as "الذحى" and not "الضحى", which is incorrect, or, "Ash-Shaaffaat" is read as "الشافات" and not "الصافات", which is too incorrect, because "dh" in English represent "ذ" and "sh" represent "ش", and so on. So, I recommend you stick with standard rules of transription (e.g. the one used by Zekr), not custom ones, to avoid incorrect readings and confusion. Here's a useful link in this regard: http://bit.ly/c22rS8
