Phil's right.
To be a bit more specific:
If ZWNJ or ZWJ is in the text, full text layout will be performed
(rather than a simple drawString).
In Arabic, ZWNJ will typically cause the font's ligature formation rules
to 'miss' the pair and so inhibit the ligature. When we do default
ligature

What's the effect of ZWNJ and ZWJ on ligatures? Will
I assume this means that neither will ever occupy any rendering space.
It will likely depend on the font. If the font maps it to a zero width
glyph then yes
But if the font doesn't map it, and since JDK doesn't treat it
specially, then it'll end up mapped to the missing glyph
just like *any*
