Arabic term or phrase: خط تهامة
This is a type of Arabic calligraphy or script, but I could not find any English-language references to it.

Should it be translated as "Tohama" script or does it have another name in English?

Thank you in advance.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Targama. As I explained to Nadia, however, I am not looking for a computer font. The script I am speaking of is handwritten and pre-dates computers.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think this might be it but I would call it a script (not font) in this case. Does your answer refer to the area in Yemen called Tehama?
