This might be partially a problem with the font in question. (I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately gotten no attention yet.) I tried reproducing this in Emacs 27, but as far as I can tell, the Arabic text shows up composed for me (emacs -Q is using "Ubuntu Mono") on my GNU/Linux system. Are you still seeing this problem, or has it been fixed in the intervening years? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
