>Due to a bug in Arabic-enabled fonts distributed with IE 5,
Tahoma, Arabic Traditional, Courier New, etc., the medial form
of
U+06CC (ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH) gets rendered exactly like the
isolated form.
Some comments:
Looks to me like the initial form of U+06CC is also wrong. You
didn't mention that, but I hope your "font fixer" tool will
correct it also.
Even Times New Roman and Arial Unicode have this flaw.

Isn't it actually in the GSUB table? I don't think these fonts
have GPOS information....
