34# We are assuming that:
35# * Most fonts that claim to support an Arabic letter actually do so;
36# * Most modern text rendering software use OpenType tables, instead of
37#   directly using presentation forms.
38# * Some good Arabic fonts do not support codepoints for Arabic presentation
39#   forms.
40# Thus, we are switching to general forms of Arabic letters.
