Check that Arabic spacing symbols U+FBB2–FBC1 aren't classified as marks.

arabic_spacing_symbols

• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

Unicode has a few spacing symbols representing Arabic dots and other marks, but they are purposefully not classified as marks.

Many fonts mistakenly classify them as marks, making them unsuitable for their original purpose as stand-alone symbols to used in pedagogical contexts discussing Arabic consonantal marks.
