Any application? I was replying to Mete Kural, who was probably
referring to Arabic. Are you aware of any application that can render
all the normal Arabic glyphs (including joining and ligatures) and also
color the components of a ligature-like typeform, e.g. lam-alef? If so,
which app(s), and which OpenType mechanism(s) would be used for that?
