Ah, that explains it. I have updated the font support page at:
https://skynav.trac.cvsdude.com/fop/wiki/SupportedFonts
to reflect this difference. I've also added info on the Lateef and
Scheherazade fonts from SIL, available for free at
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=ArabicF
Ah, yes, our own TTFReader. Its output says it all. A selection from
the diff:

them to test this, then
1. It may be useful to cross-post this to fop-users.
2. To make a binary distribution available of the code.
I could build a binary distribution, but I cannot post it on my ASF
page; I could post i
Glenn,
Thanks. I tried it, and again it did not work for me. I installed
fontforge, and looked into the font. It is 'Simplified Arabic',
version 5, but it does not have GPOS tables. I took it from my Windows
Vista installation. A font downloaded from cooltext on the web is
almost identical.

Attached is a sample input FO, output IF, and output PDF example showing the
functioning of complex chained contextual glyph substitution and glyph
positioning operations, now available on my working dev branch at git://
