# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Arabic Calligraphy: Setting Arabic letter by letter as if it were Latin breaks the joins, and the word stops being readable long before it stops being beautiful.
# - Ebru: Scanning the pattern and tiling it removes the chance of the single sheet, which is what makes it work, and leaves printed wallpaper.
