Issue with Arabic Type

Hi all,
Trying to display Arabic text and I’m not getting the correct letter forms (initial, medial and final).
All it displays is the “detached” form of the letters.

I have added the unicode ranges that I thought would take care of them (ArabicPresFormsA & B), but it still isn’t working.
Here’s a snippet:

ofTrueTypeFontSettings settings("DubaiRegular.ttf", 155);
    settings.addRange(ofUnicode::Arabic);
    settings.addRange(ofUnicode::ArabicPresFormsA);
    settings.addRange(ofUnicode::ArabicPresFormsB);
    
    ttf.load(settings);
    s = "دبي";

The text should look like what I initialized the above string (s), however it ends up looking like this (detached form only):

Anybody have an idea, or experience with Arabic type?

Thanks in advance,
