Dear Sir

I a m sorry to bother in my question since I have a real problem which
is
that I am using a Macintosh computer with the Nisus program and the
fonts I
am using mostly are GIZA and NADIM but as you know these fonts are
missing
several diacritic signs mentioned below:

- hamzatu l-wasli (waslah)

- A miniature (dagger) alif which is written above the (h) in (haadha)
or
above the shaddah in (allah) or above the (l) in (laakin).

- It should be two alternatives for writing the letter nr. 26 (h) when
it is
written in the middle.

Would you be kind and inform me how to overcome this problems.

Sincerely
