Bad Arabic ligatures and layout after upgrading to 28.1

Hi, Yesterday I upgraded from Emacs 27.1 (Installed via [emacs-mac](https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac.git)) to Emacs 28.1 (installed via Homebrew). Everything seems to work fine so far, except Arabic ligatures are broken: for instance, لا (ل followed by ا) only shows a broken line. با and نا are also affected, and only the first half of the ب and the ن are shown. [لا باس](https://preview.redd.it/x7wvdiy8ips81.png?width=166&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7be8e682929d3a89dba38bcafc3c6db5aa2fdf4) Another thing I'm noticing is that punctuation behavior got worse: if I type a comma, for instance, it's shown at the far right of the sentence, until I type the next letter, and then the comma is where it should be. ​ Is there anything I can do to fix this? ​ Thank you ​ Edit: attach and fix screenshot

I'm not on macOS, and Arabic shaping with Emacs 28.1 doesn't show such problems.
