Subject: bug#17874: 24.3.92; Incorrectly isolated  ع in علی
Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2014 13:30:36 +0100

The following should display differently, as in 24.3.1.
A.  ع ل ی - these are the "isolated" types.
B.  علی  - this is a final, medial and initial type.
C.  عل ی‎ - the isolated ی should be joined when the space is removed. 
This is the bug demonstrated.

0. Start emacs: $ emacs -Q
1. Output علی with a bold face in the appropriate font:
(progn
  (setq buffer-face-mode-face '(:family  "DejaVu Sans Mono" 
:alternate-families  "Monaco" :height 100))
  (buffer-face-mode)
  (buffer-face-set 'bold)
  (newline)
  (insert " علی"))

 علی

2. Change to a regular face:
(buffer-face-set 'default)
 علی

What happens is ی (ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH) switches from the final to 
the isolated type.
This is incorrect since there should be no difference in the 
representation when eval-ing the following:

(buffer-face-toggle 'bold)

The output of describe-char on the emboldened and regular differs on the 
following:

Regular (incorrect):

Composed using this font:
  
xft:-unknown-KacstDecorative-normal-normal-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
  [0 0 0 107 5 0 6 5 2 nil]

Bold (correct):

Composed using this font:
  xft:-unknown-KacstOne-bold-normal-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
  [2 2 0 200 7 0 8 2 4 nil]

Please note that this bug does not exist on 24.3.1, and I apologise if 
it is a problem with my compilation settings.

Regards,
Matt
