I have added support for farsi in font-otf.lua. Ultimately we need to add
all unicode chars that submit to contextual analysis, like Urdu, Pashto
etc.
Until Hans gets back, do the following:
open font-otf.lua
go to line 4660
replace that definition with this one:
local isol_fina_medi_init = {
[0x0626] = true, [0x0628] = true, [0x0629] = true, [0x062A] =
true, [0x062B] = true, [0x062C] = true, [0x062D] = true, [0x062E] = true,
[0x0633] = true, [0x0634] = true, [0x0635] = true, [0x0636] =
true, [0x0637] = true, [0x0638] = true, [0x0639] = true, [0x063A] = true,
[0x0640] = true, -- tadwil
[0x0641] = true, [0x0642] = true, [0x0643] = true, [0x0644] =
true, [0x0645] = true, [0x0646] = true, [0x0647] = true, [0x0649] = true,
[0x064A] = true,
[0x067E] = true, [0x0686] = true, [0x0698] = true, [0x06A9] =
true, [0x06AF] = true, [0x06CC] = true,
[zwj] = true,
}
save and regenerate the format.
try your file again. Works here.
Note that artro.ttf does not seem to have the correct opentype info for
06CC, so it's not processed correctly.
Best wishes
Idris
