Nothing special, I always expect interline space to be fixed, I don't
know if TeX always make interline spacing variable, but this wasn't an
issue with English text. However, with Arabic, Tashkil marks seems to
always cause a noticeable extra whitespace above the line.
See the uneven distribution of vertical whitespace in this example (it
can be even worse than this in reality):

for arabic you really need to set the interline space (idris might
have more input on this)

- it has more height than depth

Not always عٍ or فيٍ is as deep as high is أً.

so for say 12pt arabic we should use 8pt ht and 8pt depth?
