Hi,

 Yeah, I know uniscribe is doing more than just checking for characters because
I have some fonts with arabic characters but none of the features and windows
uniscribe rejects those fonts as not to shape.

 I am working on a mac and fontforge here works very poorly when editing
features so if you can generate the set of fonts that would greatly speed up my
ability to test. 

thanks!
