      Can anyone replicate this problem?
      Using the Myriad Arabic font which came with CS6, and the ScribeDOOR plugin to get the World-Ready Composer features working, I came across a combination of letters which cause an ugly clash. If there is an Arabic ra-ya-ba sequence, the tail of the ra collides with the first dot of the ya, but only in the Bold weight of the font.
      I worked around it by manually kerning the two characters apart (of course I only noticed after laying out the rest of the doc, otherwise I’d have chosen another font).
      The same thing also happens in TextEdit (OS X 10.6).
      For convenience, here are the characters: ??? so long as they don’t get mangled by the forum software. EDIT: yes they got mangled
      ???
      Seems like a poor show for such a well-regarded Adobe font.
      Thanks, Chris
