Sans Mono has CMAP tables for some Arabic characters, but does not have all the necessary contextual glyphs to show them correctly. This results in various problems, including: * With shaping engines like Pango, the previous and next letter will join to the incorrectly-supported letter, but the letter itself will display as isolated. * fontconfig will incorrectly report that the font supports some languages, while it really doesn't. This is very bad, comparable to CJK fonts having CMAPs for some Arabic letters, but no GSUB data. The CMAP references for these characters should be removed from the font until all the contextual glyphs with proper 'fina', 'medi', and 'init' GSU?B substitutions are added. The characters are: 066E: Dual_joining, no substitutions 066F: Dual_joining, no substitutions 067C: Dual_joining, no substitutions 067D: Dual_joining, no substitutions 0681: Dual_joining, no substitutions 0682: Dual_joining, no substitutions 0685: Dual_joining, no substitutions 0692: Right_joining, no substitutions 06A1: Dual_joining, no substitutions 06B5: Dual_joining, no substitutions 06BA: Dual_joining, only 'fina' exists ('init' and 'medi' missing) 06C6: Right_joining, no substitutions 06CE: Dual_joining, no substitutions 06D5: Right_joining, no substitutions
