Hi Krister,

Reading the private flame EMR had sent me, I thought you had your
solution dry and sorted.

I do not speak Arabic (I speak Farsi) , so I am not sure what the exact
desired outcome should look like.

Is the Yeh in teh framed word meant to be separate as in the OpenOffice
document or is it meant to be joined as attempted but not succeeded in XEP?

Further the little diacritic waw is presumably supposed to be above the
Yeh - and not as in the OOo example smashed into the diacritic double
point of the Qaf?
