Thanks a lot. As far as I can tell, everything is connecting correctly :)

Well the changes were small, but this one affects a lot of letters, and is likely to have broken spacing somewhere. I went through it several times.

Please have a careful look to see if everythin is still connecting.

The initial/medial forms of Arabic ba, noon and yeh should all be the same, but in FreeSerif slightly different glyphs are used that make inconsistency.

I took the best glyph among them (arab_yeh_init_dotless) and made other initial/medial forms based on it. I also changed the right part of arab_ba_teh_isol and _final based accordingly.

However, since the initial forms of ba and teh are now a bit narrower than before, one should adjust the placement of dots in the glyphs using the new intial/medial shapes: dots should be moved to the left, otherwise they lag behind the main part of the glyph.

This change affects the following glyphs:
U+062A, U+062B
U+0679 ... U+0680
U+0750 ... U+0756
U+FB52 ... U+FB69
U+FBA2, U+FBA3
U+FBE6 ... U+FBE9
U+FBFE, U+FBFF
U+FE95 ... U+FE9C
U+FEE7, U+FEE8
U+FEF3, U+FEF4

And about spacing: let's set the space between the vertical handle and the right margin to be equal to 23.
