PakType 9.0 version released

Lateef Sagar Shaikh posted a comment on a blog post

Thank you Philippe! I use Microsoft VOLT and that does not support five hex digit code. I struggled for some time and didn't want to loose my work. Finally I am able to use VOLT project without VOLT application and still add 5 digit codes! I have finally added Arabic Extended C so far in version 9.0. My first goal is to support all Quran orthographies supported by Unicode. So far Arabic Mathematical Symbols and Rumi Numeral Symbols are not in my to-do list. But I'll try. Thanks

Note that when combining it above a space (U+0020 or U+00A0), the combination may need to widened and may be larger than this space; the same is true when combining with the Arabic kashida. Not all Arabic fonts are making this width adjusment (and do not correctly position it above spaces, kashida or dotted circle, however they all display it above the baseline, not on the baseline). This change of metrics is normally not needed when combining this marker above the dotted circle, where the diacritic...

May be the alternative is ZERO-WIDTH NON JOINER (ZWNJ), if the intent is to glue two words together, while still prohibing the joining of the final letter of the 1st word with the 1st letter of the 2nd word. This is the standard behavior in Arabic and it is described in the Unicode standard. WORD JOINER is not described in the standard for Arabic. Inserting it between two Arabic letters has no effect, it does not override the default joining behavior of these letters. Its role is only semantic for...

Thanks for your work, have a good continuation on this project. May be you'll work at the same time on the second (more minor bug) about kerning pairs (#12) for the next version 7.3 when you'll plan it. It would be useful to include some texts in Urdu, Pashto, Bosnian, and Jawi in your test samples (which currently target mostly Quranic texts in Arabic, or Sindhi, or possibly some other Pakistanese languages).
