# 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.
