Saving Arabic letters in some forms shouldn't have a blank margin #228

For example, \uFED4 (Unicode Character 'ARABIC LETTER FEH MEDIAL FORM' (U+FED4)) in Times New Roman font is saved as:

ـفـ

The blank margin in both sides shouldn't be there, I think.

Another example, \uFED2 (Unicode Character 'ARABIC LETTER FEH FINAL FORM' (U+FED2)) in Times New Roman font is saved as:

ـف

The margin at the right is probably correct (not too sure), but on the left there shouldn't be a margin.

Current logic for saving characters is to always save them centered by glyph draw bounds inside a box, it doesn't actually save to glyph bounds themselves (to ensure a consistent size), so at the moment this is "expected". If you want each glyph export clipped to draw bounds (like SVG export does) that's another option that could be considered.
