Arabic Mark Positioning pdf display problem

Vladimir Tamari0 votes

Hi
I adjusted the mark positioning lookup for my Arabic opentype font in VOLT. The shipped font works correctly in most applications in Mac, PC and ioS8 . However I discovered a case where problems occur: When exporting from Word 2013 to PDF the vertical mark positions are not adjusted at all, and they stay in their default positions. This does not occur in a font like Arial, as seen to the bottom of the illustration.
Any suggestions to solve this welcome

Try different PDF maker.

Good idea thanks! One expects every software to obey the OT features... but we have to accept some cases like this I guess. Even the best software, like InDesign changes the harakat positions where it pleases.
