Noto Nastaliq ک final and isolated? shape

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
The 'kaaf' which is used at this moment produces the miniature kaaf symbol 
together with the letter in the final and stand-alone positions. This occurs in 
some words while in others it doesn't!
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In Urdu it is never used, to the contrary, this shape is Arabic only. I suppose 
it is neither used in Persian.
Please see the attached illustration.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS X but this time in Microsoft Word which enables me to see the characters 
without the interference of Apple's core code error.

I cannot reproduce this.  Can you copy-paste the text you are using, and exact 
system? (Which version of OS X, which version of MS Word)?

For me, the miniature thing is inserted if I set the language to ar, but no for 
Urdu or Persian.

It's OS X 10.10, MS Word for Mac Preview v. 15.9.0. Interesting to note that MS 
Word doesn't list the font name in the font list but displays it well.

The words I typed are نمک جھلک تلک تک شک. 

This miniature sign is also there in the word ناک.

In Pages, the little thing is not there but as you know, it is impossible to 
use this font in Pages. I'm wondering if the CoreText issue is ever going to be 
solved.

Quite possibly MS Word is automatically marking the text as Arabic.

Note that Pango has the same problem.  Not sure how to address it best.
