Farsi Support & Presentation Forms A?

[noblemaster]

I am successfully using your library. It works great - Thanks :)

I wonder, would it be possible to add support for Farsi? I tried to render Farsi text, but the glyphs don't appear correctly connected? I believe part of the Presentation Form A characters would to be used? How difficult would that be to add? Is it possible?

My guess that depends on the font been used, but it shouldn't be hard to add. I will take a look on it soon and estimate the work needed.

Thanks! I am using Arial MS Unicode which appears to have most if not all the letters needed, i.e. the Arabic Presentation Forms A. What I am not so sure about is if all the letters in Presentation Forms A are needed? I assume just a subset might be fine?

I checked Wikipedia & some other sites, but it's difficult to find much information about how to use those forms etc.

Anyhow, thanks for looking into it! :)

Anyhow, I managed to integrate the following and it appears to be working:
