Regarding the other ligatures, the examples you provided don't look right in Firefox in any font I tried. Maybe the font shaper doesn't like sequences encoded with presentation forms.

Try these:

ئم ثم تم بم

ـئم ـثم ـتم ـبم

However there were wrong entries in the FreeSerif lookup tables regarding these ligatures -- I think this is what you were referring to. Fix in SVN.

Thanks, David!

The lam-alef was a lookup table boo-boo. Now fixed in SVN.

Similarly, in FreeSerif, ⟨ﺊﻣ⟩, ⟨ﺖﻣ⟩, ⟨ﺚﻣ⟩, and ⟨ﺐﻣ⟩, (all sequences of a final glyph followed by an initial glyph) look isolated.

In FreeMono and FreeSerif, ⟨لآ⟩ looks final.
