Thanks for testing.

The width of grapheme cluster corresponding to U+06AF (ARABIC LETTER
GAF) is rounded to zero, and Emacs does not display such clusters:

xdisp.c:
 32424	      gstring = composition_gstring_from_id (it->cmp_it.id);
 32425	      it->pixel_width
 32426		= composition_gstring_width (gstring, it->cmp_it.from, it->cmp_it.to,
 32427					     &metrics);
 32428	      if (it->pixel_width == 0)
 32429		{
 32430		  it->glyph_not_available_p = true;
 32431		  it->phys_ascent = it->ascent;
 32432		  it->phys_descent = it->descent;
 32433		  it->pixel_width = face->font->space_width;
 32434		}
 32435	      else

The attached patch avoids zero-width grapheme clusters by adding 1 to
the width of the last glyph in such clusters.
