Here's the PDF for the Arabic example, where you can see additional lines in the first paragraph (justified) but not in the second one (right-aligned).

See the attached screenshot where the first paragraph is justified and the second is right-aligned. The second paragraph looks as it should, whereas the first paragraph shows a small line added at the end of each word. If you zoom in or out, some of the lines may disappear, but when you create a PDF, they are all there. The same problem occurs with nearly all the Syriac fonts I have tried, including Serto Batnan, Estrangelo Antioch, East Syriac Ctesiphon and Serto Urhoy (all part of the ttf-xfree86-nonfree-syriac package). For the last two, the clutter is not visible on screen but shows up if you create a PDF. With East Syriac Adiabene, the problem doesn't seem to occur. I have attached a screenshot, a PDF and the document used to create them.
