Description

Dear Team,

I managed to generate PDF file with Arabic characters using FOP version 0.95;
The Arabic characters are rendered with direction "RTL" right to left which is
good.

But the problem that those Arabic characters we not joined together, by the way
i used "Tahoma, Arial" font

This is the sample

<fo:block font-family="tahoma" text-align="right" writing-mode="rl-tb"
language="ar">مؤيد</fo:block>

Please advice

Best Regards
Muaiyed Al Hindi
