I think one of possible solutions could be painting to 2 different graphic contexts. I.e. paint the whole ligature to one GC while lam is clipped out, and paint the whole ligature again to another GC with alif being clipped out. Of course, to simulate a single lam-alif, accurate measurements to properly set positions/clipping would be needed.

For generalized font and style breaks, I think it would be enough to recommend that these are not intended to break shaping runs. ... How would you handle the lam-alif ligature, if it had a font or style break between the two letters?" I will add that even a color change, which appears to us as reasonable and useful, is not so easy to realize when done between lam and alif. -- Shalom (Regards), Mati
