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 w
Thanks Daniel for your care and quick response.
To make everyone happy is impossible but I would try ;)
Ideally we need a font that supports the range 600-6FF to cover all the
languages based on the Arabic alphabet (Arabic, Persian, Urdu, ...).
kacst and arabeyes fonts covers only one language and
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

First, the bug is also available in ubuntu but with different fonts. e.g
in gedit change the font to KacstOne and you see the same bug.

Third, font handling shouldn't be restricted
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.

Riddell, I tested your .deb files and now arabic displays properly on
all kde apps tested.
Regarding why you see something different in your stock Kubuntu, I may
help explain it if I can see a screenshot of how it looks to you and

Riddell, I still can't find the package in the repos.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libqt3-mt&searchon=names&subword=1&version=dapper&release=all
lists 3.3.6-1ubuntu3 as the latest!
