[Bug 11753] Re: Arabic support severely broken

No Daniel, besides the problems I explained (which are not very serious), there is a serious problem. I would explain it in a simple way.
Open kwrite. Choose the font kacstbook. Paste the following text (which is the letter Dhad repeated thrice)
ضضض
It would appear like this
ض ض ض
This is a severe problem. This problem was not there before in breezy and it's only introduced in dapper. I am afraid there is a regression somewhere and my guess now it's related to dapper since I can't imagine that both KDE and GNOME break arabic suddenly at the same time in this severe way.

My system is:
Linux 2.6.15-22-amd64-k8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 7 16:15:46 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Qt: 3.3.6
KDE: 3.5.2
KWrite: 4.5.2
