I think is is arabtype's problem if they suggest turning calt off by

those alternatives are necessary to render text correctly, otherwise I
would have used a stylistic set.
it's not arabtype that suggests it, thats the problem; open type fonts
*don't* have any information about what features should be on by
default; it's the renderers that kind of decide it and there is no
standard, so any renderer will follow its own rules
also, some features (like frac) are often implemented only partial and
as such can only be applied very selectively
so, the only way out is something:
defaults{'arabtype'] = {
arab = {
dflt = { calt=true, mkmk=true, ...},
},
}
a kind of database
