For example: + - Covers only the subset of characters required for Quran. + - Bigger line height to accommodate waqf marks. + - Hamza on yeh or waw when followed by kasra is placed bellow its base. + - Supports overline mark (U+0305) that can be used to draw sajda lines in + situations where proper overline formating is not available. + - The Allah ligature is always active, no checking for surrounding letters or + vowel marks, also no automatic insertion of shadda above it. + - Some ligatures that are problematic for fully vowelled text are disabled. + +* Lots of metrics, mark positioning, kerning and glyph shape tuning. Check GIT + log for complete list. + Amiri 0.104 (2012-07-19) ------------------------ * New glyphs: |
