Description

When building the attached font, Arabic dot mark glyphs are not assigned a GDEF glyph class and there are no GPOS mark feature for them.

The font decomposes Arabic glyphs into base and dot mark, so without the correct GDEF glyph class and the mark feature the font is completely broken.
