Subject: Kashida response

I have some documentation on this subject, along with typographic rules.
 
If you are developing the software for Windows you should use Uniscribe
(USP10.DLL) for your Arabic text handling. This has the rules for kashida
insertion integrated with it. It will save you having to reinvent the wheel.
 
If you are developing for other platforms or are otherwise interested in
receiving the rules for this should contact me directly. This way the
list will not be flooded with an attachment that many people are not
interested in.
