There are two reasons why the import will fail.

1. The original UrdType.ttf font contains two mark features, which is not allowed.
2. VOLT does not like the dash in glyph names

You can use the OpenType designer to fix issue #1 and use Tools -> Glyph Names -> Search and Replace to replace "-arab" into "_arab".

That should solve the problem.

There are two mark features attached to Arabic, while there should be only one. The lookups should all be included in a single mark feature.
