That is how the font is designed; an isolated heh takes a هـ form not ه form.
There is no better or worse here; there is rendering the font as intended by
its designer (current) and not doing that (previous). If you don’t like the
font behavior 1) contact the vendor and ask for the font to be changed 2)
change the font yourself (if you are legally allowed of course) 3) use a
different font.

Please understand that we can’t just “fix” this issue, what you see as a bug
others might see as a feature, and the litmus test is whether we are rendering
the font as intended or not.
