Dear Sir

I a m sorry to bother in my question since I have a real problem which is
that I am using a Macintosh computer with the Nisus program and the fonts I
am using mostly are GIZA and NADIM but as you know these fonts are missing
several diacritic signs mentioned below:

- hamzatu l-wasli (waslah)

- A miniature (dagger) alif which is written above the (h) in (haadha) or
above the shaddah in (allah) or above the (l) in (laakin).

- It should be two alternatives for writing the letter nr. 26 (h) when it is
written in the middle.

Would you be kind and inform me how to overcome this problems.

Sincerely
