How can I add an Arabic font?

The .docx that I want to upload as a personal book has it exactly as it needs to look.  However, I believe this error message could be causing the word order to switch.

[Error] Font 'KFGQPC Uthman Taha Naskh' is not a valid font for use in resources.

It allows me to select it under the program settings, so why is it not valid?

    I checked the https://arabicfonts.net/fonts/kfgqpc-uthman-taha-naskh-regular 

    and for me it looks like it does not have Latin characters.

    The Logos Default Book Font may need the Latin characters (and some others) in addition to the Arabic?

    I did some more checking, and looks like Postscript Type 1 fonts don't work at all in Logos. I am not sure whether the current Logos programmers are even aware of that.

    But your font is True type. Below is a picture and looks like it could show some numbers, but maybe not Latin characters and thus the error message in the upload?
