I just found a temporary work around after I noticed that the word seems to be scrunching up after typing a letter following the letter 'raa' - ر .
I typed: حَضرَ for part of a word and after I added the next letter after 'raa' ر , is when it pushed the preceding letters of the word, to the far right. So I added a space after 'raa' ر , and then typed the rest of the word [ تُكَ ] and then deleted the space between the raa and the taa and it seemed to work and looks fine. I then tried the same technique of adding a space after the letter 'raa' in the other word 'marHabaa', and then deleted it to see if it would align correctly, but it did not. For the time being, I will have to leave a space in the middle of the word 'marHabaa' so it is readable, instead of scrunched up, although it is technically incorrect. I * think * the letter following 'raa' needs to have a diacritic to anchor preceeding letters in place, but unsure at this moment. I will update this thread with other observations and examples, for others who also work with an Arabic based font.
