[alreq] Which font to use for examples? (#207)

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/alreq:

== Which font to use for examples? ==
It would be best to use freely accessible and open fonts for the examples in our documents, in order that anyone can easily create examples and maintain those in the future.

Which fonts should we use?

Scheherazade seems like a likely candidate: the quality is acceptable and opentype features are included.

Amiri may also be a good alternative?

Note that we are likely to need more than one font, since not all fonts have the same behaviour (eg. Scheherazade places the kasra below the shadda by default, whereas Amiri places it below the base character).
