Peace be on All Friends,
The attached file shows One Arabic Word in 3 different Styles: Two Computerized and the other Calligraphed (top)…
This 4-letter word begins with the egg-shaped letter (Sad) and ends with (ö),
The 2nd letter has 2 arms (upper & lower like >) and the 3rd looks like j without dot.
Which style is more attractive, shorter (less horizontal) and more comfortable to the eyes? … The Top!
That’s right. Why? For 4 reasons
the upper-arm of the 2nd letter shouldered the first letter that happily hoped on
the lower arm of the 2nd letter curved slightly to join the third letter, and
the 3rd letter coiled itself slightly to fill (kill) the gap it makes with the last letter
The last letter (ö) moved up and right as she always likes to be snuggled.
Slight yet Smart Changes?
Technically Speaking, the first 2 letters are ligatured and the last 2 letters are kerned.
Ligatures integrate 2 or more letters into one and Kerning narrows the gap between 2 letters.
By and large, in order to join appropriately to neighbouring letters (where applicable),
- Letter Tails (not heads) slightly change to achieve smooth connection, and
- Meem, Ha and likewise letters (Jeem and Kha) shoulder earlier Letters.

As you can easily see:
In PageQ1.ttf, the Characters from Alt+0185 to Alt+0201 share One egg-like body with slightly different tails.
That’s right: All read One letter— the egg-like (Sad). Go explore where they appear in this text:

My Question:
Is it possible to transform the 3 fonts (PageQ1.ttf, PageQ2.ttf and PageQ3.ttf) into a single OTF? With or without VOLT?
If Possible, help me Step by Step Please.
