I have limited Internet access right now, but I think Cursive Attachment would do the trick.

I've read your post again, and I'm not sure if curs is the way to go:
Cursive Positioning (curs) cursively positions adjacent glyphs by using entry and exit anchor points.
A chaining context allows you to replace a character if it is preceded or followed by specific characters.
A shaping engine will process calt after processing isol, init, medi, and fina, so keep that in mind.
If you want to substitute the default initial form of kaf-arab or keheh-arab if it is followed by either a medial or final form of beh-arab or seen-arab then this should do the trick:
And these glyph classes:
I'm still not sure if this is what you're looking for, so can you please be more specific, with some easy to understand examples of what you want to achieve?

Code: Select all
class @glyphsinput ["kaf-arab.init" "keheh-arab.init"];
class @glyphslookahead ["beh-arab.fina" "beh-arab.medi" "seen-arab.fina" "seen-arab.medi"];

I still do not understand brother. I send you a screen shot in substitution table which table select it.
2nd where you got 2nd screen shot? I saw the 2nd screen shot which you send first time when I add OpenType feature but now I forgot. Please help me...
3rd can I use access all alternate feature in my Arabic font to access all alternate glyphs?
