Right, U+FE73 would not normally be used. The new glyphs look good.

Thanks David.

I have no idea how this is supposed to work.  I gather that the character is a placeholder, and the glyph wouldn't normally be used.

Again, I'm impressed that you double-guessed my mistake.  I wonder.

In FreeSerif and FreeMono, U+FE73 ARABIC TAIL FRAGMENT connects to the previous character on the Arabic baseline, similar to U+0640 ARABIC TATWEEL. However, as https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2001/01095-N2322-ArabicTail.pdf shows, it is actually the left half of the tail of the isolated/final forms of letters like U+0633 (i.e. the left quarter of the whole glyph). It is used when converting to Unicode from old code pages.
