[Bug 11753] Re: Arabic support severely broken

[Munzir Taha (منذر طه)]

I am using dapper ubnutu/kubunt couple updated daily. I confirm that this serious bug is still there. To reproduce, you can just open kedit and gedit and paste an Arabic text like:
بسم الله
Change the font to KacstOne and you would see the letters non-joined/disconnected/not-shaped. Some fonts works great without any problem like DejaVu Sans. Different fonts give different results in kde and gnome; The problem is more serious in kedit than gedit as more fonts are rendered dis-joined on kedit. Odd!
