Arabic Components

Glyphs
1

Many of the wrong components of the glyphs I notice, but I forgot to recall them, postpone this topic and get back when I’m working on another font.

This is one of the mistakes that I faced
This is the correct configuration:
veh-ar+dotbelow-ar=fehDotbelowThreedotsabove-ar

This is the wrong configuration … I do not know what the relationship ?? Veh had nothing to do with Tah:
tah-ar+twodotsabove-ar=fehDotbelowThreedotsabove-ar

Must be the name of the character:
vehDotbelow-ar=veh-ar+dotbelow-ar
vehDotbelow-ar.fina=veh-ar.fina+dotbelow-ar
vehDotbelow-ar.medi=veh-ar.medi+dotbelow-ar
vehDotbelow-ar.init=veh-ar.init+dotbelow-ar

behThreedotsdownabove-ar.fina=dotlessbeh-ar.fina+threedotsdownabove-ar
behThreedotsdownabove-ar.medi=dotlessbeh-ar.medi+threedotsdownabove-ar
behThreedotsdownabove-ar.init=dotlessbeh-ar.init+threedotsdownabove-ar

Incorrect:
dalDotbelowTah-ar

ddal-ar+dotbelow-ar=ddalDotbelow-ar
ddal-ar+twodotsverticalbelow-ar=ddalTwodotsverticalbelow-ar

There is a problem with anchors Collect these components with each other and watched (hah-ar+twodotshorizontalabove-ar+tahabove-ar) output

Incorrect:
seenThreedotsbelowthreedots-ar

True Name:
seen+threedotsupabove-ar=sheen-ar

sheen+threedotsdownbelow-ar=sheenThreedotsdownbelow-ar

fixed

I think it is fine to use the yeh as a component instead the alefMaksura + dots

the unicode description is ARABIC LETTER TEH WITH THREE DOTS ABOVE DOWNWARDS.

it’s dalDotbelowTahabove-ar now. Again, the unicode description states it is a dal.

I worked on the anchor decomposition just recently, so this might be fixed by now. If it is not fixed in version 751, please send me a sample file.

It is seenThreedotsbelowThreedots-ar now. Again I follow the unicode description.

I’ll see if I should change the names to follow your suggestions instead of the unicode description.

If you looked at the Arabic Fonts you will not find anyone uses the names of the Glyphs in the Unicode.
This is the Arabic Unicode like a fossil record.

alefHamzaabove-ar.fina=alef-ar.fina.short+hamzaabove-ar

alefHamzabelow-ar=alef-ar+hamzabelow-ar
alefHamzabelow-ar.fina=alef-ar.fina+hamzabelow-ar

sub alef-ar.fina fathatan-ar by alefFathatan-ar.fina

highhamzaAlef-ar=alef-ar+highhamza-ar
highhamzaAlef-ar.fina=alef-ar.fina+highhamza-ar

True Name:
highhamza-ar+alef-ar=alefHighhamza-ar

Notice:
its don’t need to alef-ar.short Because Hamza is not at the top alef-ar

alefTwoabove-ar=alef-ar.short+twoabove-ar
alefTwoabove-ar.fina=alef-ar.fina.short+twoabove-ar

alefThreeabove-ar=alef-ar.short+threeabove-ar

rnoon-ar= noonghunna-ar+tahabove-ar
rnoon-ar.fina= noonghunna-ar+tahabove-ar edit: Correction: rnoon-ar.fina= noonghunna-ar.fina+tahabove-ar

added that

Please edit: rnoon-ar.fina= noonghunna-ar.fina+tahabove-ar

I thought that you meant that.

Notice:
hamza-ar and meem-ar arabic origin not sindhi

True Name:

components to marks:
fathatan-ar=fatha-ar+fatha-ar
kasratan-ar=kasra-ar+kasra-ar
shaddaAlefabove-ar=shadda-ar+alefabove-ar

This method does not work:
shaddaKasra-ar=shadda-ar+kasra-ar
shaddaKasratan-ar=shadda-ar+kasra-ar

This method works well:
shaddaKasra-ar=fatha-ar+shadda-ar note:make first fatha-ar
shaddaKasratan-ar=fathatan-ar+shadda-ar note:make first fathatan-ar
