Hi Sineau,

First, there is no Arabic range in FreeSans.  Your sample is from some other 
font.
All the Arabic in the FreeFont family is in the Serif face.

Could it be so simple, as adding lookups to replace the isolated form of the 
letters
with their initial, median, and final forms?

Well, those lookups were missing.  This isn't a surprise:  I put the lookups 
for Arabic
in myself, using whatever resources I could find, and probably wasn't aware 
that the
Persian ones weren't in the lists I was using.

OK so the change is in CVS.   In principle you could get it from there.
If you would like to help, let's move the discussion over to the FreeFont bugs 
list.

See you there!
