It's not new in the Arabic world either; the 1920 saw many attempts to
"rationalize" Arabic writing, to get rid of the connectedness etc. For an
historical overview, see:

      Title: Pour une typographie arabe : contribution technique à la
démocratisation de la culture arabe / Roberto Hamm.
      Published/Created: Paris (1-3, rue Feutrier, 75018) : Sindbad, 1975.
      Physical Description: 193 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
