Is it possible to change fonts to fully support Arabic scripts or add letters to the Vazir font used by Telegram?

Can you add Arabic letters for Kazakh (Arabic), Uyghur.
And is it possible without the Arabic language ligature as in the screenshot below

Sorry for the late reply. There are requests to add languages to the font. Developing and maintaining a complete Typeface family is a difficult task, especially when the work is free and unsupported. I will try to add new glyphs to the font but I do not think I can add those Arabic ligatures (in the picture) at this time.

@rastikerdar sorry, but Arabic ligatures don't need to be added. I meant to add all Arabic letters without Arabic ligatures.
Since many languages that use the Arabic alphabet use a Perso-Arabic Style that does not need Arabic ligatures.
Can I help you with adding letters to Vazir fonts?

I have experience working with FontCreator and creating fonts.
Can I add glyphs to the Vazir font and send them to you?

Thanks for this issue and thanks again for those glyphs. Added to Vazir 27.0.0.
