misleading name for U+076F #20

Closed bobh0303 closed 4 years ago

bobh0303 commented 5 years ago

current glyphData.xml says:

<glyph unicode="076F" name="hahTahTwodotshorizontalabove-ar" category="Letter" script="arabic" production="uni076F" description="ARABIC LETTER HAH WITH SMALL ARABIC LETTER TAH AND TWO DOTS" />

The above in the name makes one expect that the tah and two dots are above the hah, when in fact they are below as shown in the Unicode charts: image

I suggest changing the name to hahTahTwodotshorizontal-ar.

bobh0303 commented 4 years ago

After thinking about this, the name I suggested above is incorrect. For all the hah-like glyphs that explicitly name added dots, tah, etc., the glyph names explicitly indicate whether the added components are above or below, so U+076F should not omit such an indication.

In the case of U+076F, the tah and two dots are clearly below as shown, for example, in the Calibri font: image

Thus the glyph name should be changed to hahTahTwodotshorizontalbelow-ar
