# We are assuming that:

# * Most fonts that claim to support an Arabic letter actually do so;

# * Most modern text rendering software use OpenType tables, instead of

#   directly using presentation forms.

# * Some good Arabic fonts do not support codepoints for Arabic presentation

#   forms.

# Thus, we are switching to general forms of Arabic letters.
