Ah, ok (btw: do please put an empty line between what you are citing
and your reply - its easier to see things that way).

Do please tell the creators of that font of this problem.  We have to
yet to get in contact with someone that has created (or has the ability
to create) his/her own original fonts.  We have been unable to get in
touch with the KACST font developer.  In short, make sure that the URDU
font creators know of this issue, let us know if you need any backing
or support in letting the owners of the above mentioned font realize
that this is important to us.

Salam.
