As usual, your fixes are outstanding. I will test as soon as there is a build
available.

Yes, I am aware that less broken results show when formatting marks are hidden
as in the original bug I filed. So, now remains the broken characters like LAM
ALEF combinations and ligatures.

I am not sure whether breaking shaping should be the same bug as breaking
kerning. Yes, broken Arabic ligature shaping is similar to kerning because the
text is still correct though not suitable for professional work. However,
breaking shaping is more serious and the text is incorrect and can be handled
in a different way.

In Scribus e.g. the kerning doesn't break due to color changes. For Arabic,
Scribus still doesn't know how to handle the coloring for single characters of
combinations correctly so it changes the color of the whole ligature, which is
not perfect but at least the shaping is intact.
