Folks who have had bad experiences with monospaced Unicode in Windows Terminal (such as when trying to printf Arabic, etc.): if you don't mind pasting the Unicode string into replies to this tweet, I will add them to my refterm test suite for future replacement terminals.

Unfortunately, rendering Arabic monospaced will never look correct. Even if you use a font with fixed-width Arabic glyphs such as Courier New, there are still ligatures such as (ل+ا => لا) that are required to look correct.

We should figure it out. I feel like if someone who knew Arabic writing well wanted to help me out here, I could easily make sure the rendering works properly in refterm. Given how many people write Arabic, it's insane not to support it. Here is some current refterm output:pic.twitter.com/4tjxYbOP6C

Native speaker here. Happy to help anytime with anything. Though I'm using a macbook so can't test windows programs.
