this should be a font characteristics (glyph boundingboxes smaller than
normal.
\long\def\startarabictext#1\stoparabictext
{{\bfd\processisolatedwords{#1}\struttedbox}}
^^ otp switches
\long\def\arabictext#1{\startarabictext#1\stoparabictext}
\dorecurse{10}
{test test \startarabictext well o well\stoparabictext test }
i have no idea if this works well with arabic
