salaam alaikum,
Thanks Muhammet for wonderful font.
I'm a Linux user and I have always had problem with arabic fonts with
the placement of shaddah+fattah on Allah ligature. I know it is a
known issue and reported here
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437633
I was able to spend sometime last year researching this issue and came
up with a workaround and contacted Meor Ridzuan author of the me_quran
font. He however did not have time to apply the work around and
release a new version. I have made this change internally on the
me_quran font. I however cannot distribute this change as the license
for me_quran prohibits me from doing so.
I'm having the same problem with ma_quran font when I use it on Linux.
So I'm requesting if you could please make this change in your font.
Here is part of the email I sent to Meor back in Feb 09.
"I found that making a small change in your font, this problem can be
fixed. Now as I understand that pango process the GSUB tables for
Arabic not in the order they appear but in a fixed order like ccmp,
locl, isol, fina, media, init, rlig, calt, liga, cswh and mset.
Because of this calt for lam_medial + heh_final is processed before
lam_initial + lam_medial + heh_final = allahisolated ligature. If I
change the table type of allahisolated ligature to rlig from liga, it
is processed before calt and this problem is not encountered. I'm not
sure if this causes any other problem and I'm not sure why something
should be rlig and other should be liga. I'll appreciate if you can
shed some light on this."
So basically I changed table type of allahisolated ligature from rlig
to liga in me_quran font. And that fixed the problem of position of
shaddah on the Allah ligature. I currently do not have the tools to
edit fonts with me. If you can make this change, I'll be happy to test
this in Linux for you.
JazakAllah Khair
