Jason and Kenichi, could you please take a look at this problem? The first question I'd ask is whether this is specific to Windows, or do we have similar problems on GNU/Linux with libotf? Sergei, could you please try invoking Emacs with the `-xrm Emacs.fontBackend:gdi' command-line argument, and see if the problem persists with the GDI backend? That's assuming that GDI at all supports Arabic shaping; I don't know enough about this to tell, sorry.
