Changes

This release includes the addition of two characters. No other changes were made to the font.

New

  • Added:
    • FDFA ARABIC LIGATURE SALLALLAHOU ALAYHE WASALLAM
    • FDFB ARABIC LIGATURE JALLAJALALOUHOU

Known issues

  • Shaping for the newly added characters may not yet occur in applications.
  • Medial and final high hamza characters may have collisions (these likely do not occur).
  • Lam + high hamza alef ligature does not form as it likely does not occur.
  • In Word: kerning of Arabic proportional digits is incorrect. This is a bug in Word.
  • In InDesign: some behaviors, such as the lam-alef ligature, raised kasra with shadda, and subtending marks, will not function correctly unless Ligatures is turned on in the Characters panel.

Both desktop and web fonts are provided in a single, all-platforms package on the Download page.
