This is a brief description of some features of the font. http://sama-tube.com/quran/FontAlmaghribi/Definition-font-almaghribi.pdf I will test some of them tonight, and see if they are still working. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

These tables are unused by MS text layout engine, so stripping them makes the font behave like it does in MS applications, which seems to be the only platform it was tested against (the font is broken also om macOS unless the tables I mentioned are removed). > Some extreme and complex usage of that Maghrebi font is the writing of whole > Muhammadi Qur’an, with the narration of Warsh on the authority of Nafi’, and > I think (not sure) it was primarily done on Apple software to benefit from > those complex font features. > > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.vacof.quranma The screenshots of this app show handwritten calligraphy nit a computer font (look at the same letter, e.g. isolated alef, at different places and you will see variations that result from handwriting). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I'm not an expert in fonts, but the effect of removing such part from the font wouldn't disable some advanced font capabilities ? Some extreme and complex usage of that Maghrebi font is the writing of whole Muhammadi Qur’an, with the narration of Warsh on the authority of Nafi’, and I think (not sure) it was primarily done on Apple software to benefit from those complex font features. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.vacof.quranma I tested the modified font, and it seems to work fine both on LibreOffice and Microsoft Office on Windows10 and Linux(Manjaro KDE), but I have no way to test if that removed part has any effect on availability of font features on Mac. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157922 --- Comment #5 from خالد حسني --- A workaround is to strip the AAT table from the font, using something like (ttx comes from FontTools Python package): $ ttx -x morx -x feat -x prop -x lcar AALMAGHRIBI.ttf $ ttx AALMAGHRIBI.ttx This should result in a AALMAGHRIBI#1.ttf file, installing it instead of the original AALMAGHRIBI.ttf file should fix the issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157922 --- Comment #4 from خالد حسني --- This is a font bug. The font contains non-functional AAT (Apple Advanced Typography) font support which is ignored by MS Office and older versions of HarfBuzz. Newer versions of HarfBuzz as well as Apple software support AAT and the font is broken there. Currently, HarfBuzz does not give us a way to prefer OpenType over AAT, see https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/4108 for upstream discussion. This is not a first time I see a bug report about this particular font, but I can’t find where I saw it before. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

So either the bug is still in last Harfbuzz version or is still in the LO code which in its way to use Harfbuzz. I don't think removed local Harfbuzz patches are concerned.
