Is it possible to change these values with a script?

.diacriticPosition sets the mode. To finetune positioning (the Horizontal and Vertical fields indicated in the screenshot), use .xOffsetDiacritic and .yOffsetDiacritic.

    Hi @ali u, I don't have Arabic or Hebrew to test with, but when I had a look around in the scripting API, all I could find is DiacriticPositioningOptions which is not exactly what you want, but might be useful. If you select some text, a script could be:

    var text = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
if (text.hasOwnProperty('diacriticPosition')) {
    text.diacriticPosition = DiacriticPositionOptions.LOOSE_POSITION;
}

    If that doesn't help, we'd better wait for an expert. 🙂
