Or is it actually fortunate? The delay in properly incorporating Arabic into the IT environment gave the rendering infrastructure time to enrich and develop more elaborate textual representation such as advanced ligatures. This means Arabic text rendering has not had to be bent into the plain linear forms that Latin text more naturally falls into.

Instead it's bent into the continuous squiggly curve forms that handwriting naturally falls into but it's not written by hand so it doesn't gain that value.
