Created attachment 300540 [details] index.html with reproduction and NotoSansArabic font Using WebKit Nightly r211623 and the reproduction attached to this bug, WebKit does not shape the experimental Noto Sans Arabic font correctly. The arabic test string appears disconnected and variation settings are not applied.

One correction to the initial report: WebKit nightly does apply the variation axis values, but does not shape the Arabic right.
Reproduces in a native test app using raw CoreText. Off to that team.

The fix for this issue was needed outside the WebKit project, therefore this is being resolved as 'Moved'. This should now be fixed in shipping software.
