Letter Kearning / Create Outline (Fonts)
Hi there,
I'm using Illustrator CC with Arabic fonts.
I need to create outline paths without the vertical path divider between individual letters.
How can I do so, so only the outer path remains.

Well these aren't dividers, they are character overlaps. See the first two characters (on the right end) are جـ ـمـ so the straight line between them is overlapping hence you see that small rectangle shape.
Any how, the solution is to weld characters together, or you may call it unit them by using Pathfinder panel, or the Shape Builder tool, however some times you may need to unassembled complex characters such as the ـمـ here in the middle of your word, so unassembled before welding, here are the steps…
If Unite didn't work, you may need to select letter م (looks like a circle in the middle of the word) and choose Object > Compound Path > Release. Now unite all characters, view your letters in normal preview, select the heart of the circle and other parts of the united characters and choose Object > Compound Path > Make.
