Are there variable fonts available? I only see static font files in the ttf and web zip archives.

Hello,

i have an issue with the arabic letters, one letter is missing "K".

The letter we want exist in the image i share but needs to be adjusted.

• The letter “K” in Arabic is present I added a bleu square around it
• We need to adjust the end of it (on the left side) to resemble to the one in red square
how can we do this?
