You could edit the cuni2oar otp (and recompile it) so that it ignores the ligatures you don't like, or you could put a kashidah between the two letters whose ligature you want to break. Better is to define an "empty" kashidah so that you can manually break the ligature without stretching the word. I'll look into this in the next few days (busy right now) if you remind me-)
Thanks very much for this, but unfortunately as an Arabic typesetting novice I can't quite follow it (the comments on the ligatures came from a proofreader). Am following this up via another route to try to better understand what to do, but if you really did want a reminder about this - here it is :-)

Add \reversesectionnumberstrue to your Arabic definition:
Ah, great, perfect. Now I have a follow-up to that one: I also would like figure and table numbering to have the chapternumber in the right order and use - as a separator. In other words, in English I use \in{Figure}[figref0102] to generate "Figure 1.2" and in Arabic I'd like to use \in{رسم بياني }[figref0102] to generate "رسم بياني 1-2" Any advice for that? (I had a search for other \reverse type commands but no luck :-( Many thanks again. Duncan PS. Apologies if the UTF-8 content there doesn't show up correctly.
