> The exception is thrown, because variable "unicode" contains two diacritic 
> signs (for example: arabic shaddah U+0651 and arabic fathah U+064E, unicode 
> length = 2), while array "widths" only contains one entry at that time( 
> [x.xxxxxxxx] ).
> Temporary workaround could be to check the size of the array:
