hi, why is this needed. what makes sindhi different to other languages with joiningScript?

Thanks for pointing that out.

I noticed this specifically while testing the Sindhi language. With the default font and letter spacing, some Sindhi words were rendered incorrectly because certain joining characters appeared disconnected. Applying letter-spacing: normal together with a font that properly supports Sindhi (e.g. Noto Sans Arabic/Lateef) fixed the rendering.

I haven't yet verified whether the same issue affects all other joiningScript languages, so I scoped the change to Sindhi to avoid changing typography for languages I hadn't tested.

the selected fonts are not provided by the website, so this fix would only work, if the user has them installed locally.

The current fallback fonts in case the font doesn't contain the characters to display are "Roboto Mono" and "Vazirharf".

The fix doesnt seem to work:

The fix doesnt seem to work:

Is there a way that if a user selects the Sindhi language, the font is automatically set to MB Lateefi (best for sindhi) for the words only?
Please guide me

hi @Shamsuddin45 ,

could you provide an example custom text in sindhi and two screenshots, one with the default font and one with the MB lateefi font.

And could you find a font that is open source that does the same?
Would this one work? https://software.sil.org/lateef/

Of course here is it !

Screenshot 1 is "MB Lateefi" & Screenshot 2 is "Roboto Mono"

[fehmer]

is this the same text? can you provide it as text as well?
