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:

I've been posting this and the like to fop-dev for the interest of devs only
at this time. I am not yet attempting to recruit a wider user community,
until I have stabilized a few features. I expect to submit a new patch
presently for the Temp_ComplexScripts branch.

Glenn,
If you want to make your progress visible to more users, and invite
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.
