I tried to fix this problem using FontForge. However I encountered
strange things I'd be glad to be explained.
According to FF's lookups view, none of the Contextual Chaining
Substitution lookups, enabled by the Pre Base Substitution feature,
contains the u091E_u094D.half_u091C.pres glyph in their Lookahead
coverage tables.
And in the metrics window I can obtain the substitution of u093F with
glyph206 by enabling a feature whose name is... empty!
