A PDF-generating product I am working on provides Unicode support and displays Russian, Hebrew and even Chinese characters just fine.
Excellent!!
Apparently in Arabic, a character's glyphs vary according to its relative position to other characters, to provide a nice "bridge" between letters.
Correct. Many of the languages of that family (Persian, Farsi, etc.) all have contextual glyph shaping...
I was wondering if someone (Arabic-speaking, perhaps) could point me in a direction where I can find some information on this matter.
Google for it!
There are standard tables you can use to determine the shaping...
