Hello. Thank you for providing us with great fonts.
I’d like to report a request from native Urdu speakers to fix Noto Nastaliq Urdu.

It applies to Noto Nastaliq Urdu fonts v3.007:

Although these strings can be correctly displayed on Harfbuzz, some part of glyphs disappeared on Microsoft Word 2019.

FYI,
For anyone looking for quick workaround (on Windows),
I was able to to see the characters rendered properly on Libre Office Writer 7.6.

Thanks for filing this with Microsoft; it is a Microsoft rendering bug, rather than a font bug, so we'll see what they say.
