Middle Eastern Unicode fonts for Windows computers

Arabic Avestan Carian Cuneiform Hebrew Imperial Aramaic
Inscriptional Pahlavi Inscriptional Parthian Lycian Lydian Mandaic Old Persian
Old South Arabian Phoenician Samaritan Syriac Ugaritic

The following lists of Middle Eastern Unicode fonts are probably not comprehensive, they are just the ones that I have acquired with various operating systems and applications, or found while learning about Unicode from the Web. Not all of the characters in a given range will always be present in a font; you can use a utility such as Babel Map to see exactly which characters are included.
