Hi,
Apart from SIL fonts (which are gratis but not free), I don't know any
gratis fonts that support the additional Kurdish letters. If you have
the time, you can try getting one of the free Arabic fonts and addKurdish support to it. The FarsiWeb Persian fonts are already shippedwith Debian, and

Hello all :)
I have recently tested the font Verajja, which will be integrated
into the font Deja Vu. It covers the Vietnamese glyphs, but I have
made some recommendations to the developer on the spacing of combined
diacritics which will make it more readable in my language. (The
