Adding glyphs to Arabic fonts

Hi Dave et al
I've added a page on the above as you suggested, and also included an (optional) appendix on installing FF on Ubuntu 14.04.  I also added a note to README to say you need ruby-dev installed before gem install jekyll will work.

Could be, as I suggest in the commit message.  But I didn't want to start 
making changes to someone else's stuff.

Done.

French spacing is pretty standard in some typesetting.  It won't show up on 
the webpage, will it?

Done.

Pretty standard in LaTeX.  I did try using &ndash;, but Jekyll refused to 
generate the pages then.

Done, though eg is now acceptable in my experience.

Some comments on various font lists said that the license usually allows you 
to make changes for private use, but I really don't know.

Hmm.  In my experience that assumption is usually unjustified.  Can you reword 
yourself to whatever you're happy with?
