Hack is the right word .... the link says: "Arabic vowels in some fonts (Times New Roman, at least) have non-zero advances, when they should be zero. Pango does a hack very similar to this to work around the same problem." Personally I would expect Times New Roman 3.x fonts to have non-zero advances ... but would expect Times New Roman 5.x fonts to have zero advances. The hack seems to be about making fonts that weren't designed to handle diacritics to work, rather than focusing on using the new versions of fonts or fixing fonts.
