Currently, we have only standard Arabic glyphs, no Quranic glyphs, no
glyphs used in other languages using Arabic script (like Urdu, Farsi,
Uyghur etc...), Except in the, yet unreleased "Arabeyes Web" font
[http://www.khaledhosny.org/files/pub/ArabeyesWeb.ttf], but we are
planing to add such glyphs in new releases ISA.

I'd appreciate if some one can provide us with such a comprehensive
test suite, so that we can test our fonts against and fix any issues.
Currently we have limited support to multi diacritics, only
shadda+{fatha, damma, ...}, but we need to support sequential fathatan
and like.
