Public bug reported:
Times New Roman does not render Arabic diacritics correctly when there
is a shadda followed by letter that has a diacritic. This is a bug both
when rendering the text in for example Firefox / Chrome and in
LibreOffice.
To test the bug, copy the following text into a text editor, for example
LibreOffice, and change the font to Times New Roman to see how the
diacritics change position.

The text is, however, correctly rendered with Times New Roman on Windows and
MacOS machines, but not on my Linux machine.
Please see the attached image for a comparison with a font that
correctly displays the diacritics.
