This is uni0686. It should have 3 dots. uni0687 looks the same and should have 4 dots Same applies to Mirza.

There are more broken glyphs of the family that has HAH as bases:

JEEM has one dot in the center, but that is also misiing from uni062Cit's final form uniFE9E is also missing the dot.

Seems like this issue is affecting many glyphs!

I'm a bit puzzled. It must have been correct once, because I was able to get the decompositions of these glyphs. But now all of them are broken. Take also a look at the fina forms.

The marks are there for the init and medi forms at it seems.

This is related to #82 by the way. I'm working on that and make these findings here. Some of the decompositions need to be made differently I think, I'm working on a viable solutions.

graphicore commented 8 years ago

Do you need a list of these glyphs, where the center mark is missing?

I can make one for these that we use in decomposition at least.

Aha! This is a false alert!

I was looking in the ufos exported by Glyphs. Glyphs doesn't translate all of the component names correctly into production names when exporting the ufo:

This is https://github.com/Tarobish/Katibeh/blob/master/Generated/Arabic/Katibeh-Regular.ufo/glyphs/uni0686.glif:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<glyph name="uni0686" format="1">
  <advance width="575"/>
  <unicode hex="0686"/>
  <outline>
    <component base="uni062D"/>
    <component base="threedotsdowncenter-ar" xOffset="330" yOffset="-282"/>
  </outline>
</glyph>

the second component name should in fact be threedotsdowncenterar without the hyphen.

I don't want the list, ill check them all thru "Glyph" view from indesign

graphicore commented 8 years ago

@Tarobish Here's probably nothing more to do for you. But yeah, maybe double-check just in case.

This should be fixed in Glyphs 2.3.
