Rafał Buchner > Any good tricks and tips how to solve similar issues?@ OpenType format wasn't designed to handle nonlinear kerning in VF. That's why we developed Qalambartar to handle not only the nonlinear kerning in Arabic script, but the overlapping and swashing too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itZ66gUVVCIHappy watching & exploring!
