[Christian PERRIER]

Hello,

Quoting Kess Vargavind (vargavind at gmail.com):

> Dear maintainer,
> 
> The font UKIJ Tughra has glyphs at code points reserved for other scripts.
> 
> At least the following blocks has wrongly placed glyphs:
>   * Arabic
>   * Arabic Presentation Forms A
>   * Arabic Presentation Forms B
>   * Basic Latin

Gheyret, could you have a look at this. As you're my contact with
UKIJ, I think this issue can be addressed among UKIJ.

Is this something done on purpose in Tughra and is this fixable?

I would prefer the first solution suggested by Kess but if it isn't
possible, I think I will drop the font from the package.
