I am pleased to inform you that Glenn Adams updated his work with an extensive patch. This patch completes the first round of functional support for OpenType GDEF/GSUB/GPOS advanced typographic tables as employed by selected Arabic fonts (see supported fonts at https://skynav.trac.cvsdude.com/fop/wiki/SupportedFonts).
The update has been imported into FOP's code in the Temp_ComplexScripts branch. The new code is available at the URLs cited below.
