Unlike Latin scripts, Arabic is cursive: most letters change shape depending on their position (initial, medial, final, or isolated). Additionally, Arabic includes diacritical marks and right-to-left (RTL) text flow. Standard SHX fonts do not natively handle contextual shaping or RTL ordering. Therefore, a font like Xarab.shx would need to store multiple glyph variants per letter and rely on external text engines (e.g., AutoCAD’s MTEXT with RTL support) or third-party plugins to render correctly.
