Thank you for the report.
Noto Nastaliq didn't strive to support all the languages ever written in Nastaliq. Specifically, I believe that Uyghur was not in scope for Noto Nastaliq.
from arabic.
@jungshik The Pentaglot Dictionary has many words written in Chagatai language (known as "Huiwen" (回文) in the Qing Dynasty), which is the origin of modern Uyghur and Uzbek, and used as literary language for their speakers until 1920s. Seen from the dictionary, I can see Nastaliq really has this historic usage for them, since then, I think Noto Nastaliq can be optimized for this case.
Wikipedia has said the spread of Nastaliq:
Nastaʿlīq is the core script of the post-Sassanid Persian writing tradition, and is equally important in the areas under its cultural influence. The languages of Iran (Western Persian, Azeri, Balochi, Kurdi, Luri, etc.), Afghanistan (Dari, Pashto, Uzbek, Turkmen, etc.), Pakistan (Punjabi, Urdu, Kashmiri, Saraiki, etc.), and the Turkic Uyghur language of the Chinese province of Xinjiang, rely on Nastaʿlīq.

@jungshik, do you have an opinion? If we want this we need a list of the unicode codepoints to add, at a minimum.
from arabic.
@jungshik, if you want to know which of them need to be added, the following resource would be helpful:

I think this is a product decision. How do we want to define the scope of Noto Nastaliq font? And if we want scripts like Machu, Mongolian, Tibetan, Chagatai included, what arguments can be offered for them other than historical completeness? Can someone want to argue a case?
from arabic.
I think this bug should related to notofonts/noto-fonts#991.
from arabic.
U+069B (ARABIC LETTER SEEN WITH THREE DOTS BELOW) still missing from NotoNastaliqUrdu font
.
from arabic.
SEEN THREE DOTS BELOW (ڛ) is now supported in Noto Nastaliq Urdu. Please reopen if there are other Arabic characters that you feel this font should support.
