Step 1: Download the source code
Step 2: Extract ZIP
Step 3: Find the build.py in "Scripts" and run it
Step 4: Open the font file

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get this font to open even after running the build script. This doesn't exactly surprise me considering that this is still "Under Construction", but the fact this won't even open is a problem that completely prevents further testing of the font. I strongly advise this issue be fixed. Maybe it's just me, and someone here can help?

As the first (right) dot of Taa (تاء) appears too far on the right, it appears mistakenly placed over the previous letter, which creates a confusion when the previous letter has a dot such as letter Noon (نون).

Figure below shows how the 2 words "كنتم" and "كتنم" are respectively displayed as "كتنم" and "كنتم".

Another figure showing the words "فتنتم" and "بنتكم" and "ربتنا".

I may suggest that either the width of letters are increased, the distance between the 2 dots are reduced, or the 2 dots are placed vertically instead.

شكراً لجهودكم

Break on new line, no automatic line breaking.

Allow adjusting the dots of the glyph at cursor using e.g. alt+arrow keys.

Support optional dark mode.

The glyphs should probably be generated at build time.

Allow rotating two dots to get the vertical variant when needed.

Allow setting text (foreground) and background color.

Allow kering the glyph at the cursor, using e.g. ctrl+arrow keys.
