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.
