bug#28339: 25.2; Emacs shows ZWNJ character (Zero Width non-Joiner) as Space

[handa]

I've just tried Test.text on my Emacs and Gedit, and got the attached
screen shot which shows almost same rendering, and they are more
similary to your Emacs_display.png than Gedit_display.png.

In my case, Emacs uses "Dejavu Sans".  I don't know how to get which
font Gedit uses for Arabic, but as far as I see from the glyph shapes,
it also uses "Dejavu Sans".

Do you know which font your Gedit uses?
Or, Eli, do you know which font your Emacs uses for Arabic?
