[Bug 11753] Re: Arabic support severely broken

[Munzir Taha (منذر طه)]

Ok. I just compiled a small qt application and found that it's a
regression bug in Qt: 3.3.6. Old Qt versions used to work properly.


To test for this I made this snippet and compiled it and that confirmed to me it's Qt

#include <qapplication.h>
#include <qtextedit.h>

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
         QApplication a( argc, argv );
         QApplication::setFont(QFont("KacstBook", 72));
         QTextEdit *text = new QTextEdit(QObject::trUtf8("بسم الله"));
         text->show();
         return a.exec();
}

You can test also with all other kacst fonts and arabeyes fonts so it's
not a matter of specific font. Regarding Gnome forget about what I said.
Gnome works properly. Only kde applications like kedit, kwrite, kword is
affected.
