Yes Waleed. This one has a font solution and the font solution is
superior to Unicode encoding which we have for few of lam alef
ligatures. It not only resolves the vowels situation between lam and
alef, it also can maintain the ligature form for other Lams. Lam with
a dot above, Lam with 3 dots above and Lam with small v above.
Generally, Arabic script is heavily dependent to the font technology.
A technology that for Roman script is often only used for typographic
refinements.
