lam-meem ligature #6

Closed oneOfThePeople closed 7 years ago

oneOfThePeople commented 7 years ago

i try to draw on image lam-meem with font amiri (https://github.com/khaledhosny/amiri-font) its suppose to see like this: http://www.charbase.com/fccc-unicode-arabic-ligature-lam-with-meem-initial-form the result look like normal (not like the ligature) when i try to draw "لملم" but when i draw directly the unicode (fccc) its work there is way to change this in your code? thank you

Hello @oneOfThePeople,

It can be added to the code but I'm afraid not all fonts support this ligature and probably don't have a fallback option, I need to try that maybe first, I'll check and respond back.

Sorry for the late response but I was on vacation 🙂

i know for sure that not all the font support this ligature... this is a library for checking if the unicode is in the font thanks again it's will be very helpful

The right way to handle this is to have proper OpenType support, but you can’t do this by manipulating text string as it is the case here.

Hi @oneOfThePeople,

You can now with version 2.0.0 customise and configure the reshaper to your own preferences, it supports a long list of ligatures, feel free to try it!
