Hi Cuters,

System: 2.6.10-1mdk i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ GNU/Linux
Qt 4.0.0-rc1-snapshot-20050429

My installed Arabic fonts appeares duplicated in Qt4-based apps. For example 
Traditional Arabic appears as two entries in Font Dialogs. It appears as:

Traditional Arabic [Glyph Systems]
Traditional Arabic [Unknown]

In my KWrite 4.3 (Using KDE 3.3.2) apps it appears as
Traditional Arabic [monotype]
Traditional Arabic [Unknown]

In gedit and OpenOffice.org it appears as
Traditional Arabic

I guess Qt4 is trying to read the different versions of the font generated 
upon the installation of fonts using drakfont of Mandrake. In my system there 
is

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1/trado.afm
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1/trado.pfb
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf/trado.ttf

Is this resolution correct?
