Yes that is one solution.
A more permanant solution will include, in addition to NZWJ, a font without
complex rendering of selective matras. (Ie a plain linear even text without
NZWJ is the goal).
Yes, both of these require removal of dotted circle facility.
A text written for default encoding would also be readable in the one
without the ZWNJ format. ie, it is not dependent on source file, but depend
on how you want to read. For this NZWJ will not help.
