Good catch with ß! I'll fix that.
Regarding the double dots however, it's a deliberate design choice (constraint). Double and triple dots in Persian glyphs (extended Arabic) are the same.
The rationale is so: I have one base unit which is a fixed size dot which is a glyph itself and every other glyph is made of that. All glyphs also use absolute minimum possible number of dots, and the space between them is also is a multiple of its size. I hope that users could understand it correctly in the context.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
