> The exception is thrown, because variable "unicode" contains two diacritic signs (for example: arabic shaddah U+0651 and arabic fathah U+064E, unicode length = 2), while array "widths" only contains one entry at that time( [x.xxxxxxxx] ).
> Temporary workaround could be to check the size of the array:

> This problem only happened on arabic texts so far. Since there is no evidence that it will occur only in arabic text I did not attach it to another issue. Further investigation needed.
