Arabic font marks problem

ivanizm's picture

hello there,

lately, I finished making an Arabic font with tashkeel (marks),
the result is nice in adobe programs (illustrator for ex), but while testing it in notepad or wordpad the problem appeared

when i add a mark to a letter it adds a useless space, like the image below

the image is captured from wordpad
I use win xp btw

I’m sorry I cannot help with your problem (and I don’t even read arabic), but I like your font! :-)

Mark glyphs need to be zero width and assigned OpenType "mark" glyph class, how to do that depends on the tools you use.

marks were assigned to "mark" ,i edited the mark glyphs to be zero widths
