The position is still not correct. The situation now is that the HARAKAT would 
not appear at all! Actually it's there but the HARAKA is now too far from the 
letter that you can't see it if it's on the first line of a top-aligned text. 
I would appear +/-1 line above/below the letter!

Doesn't Qt supports OpenType? Shouldn't the position of HARAKAT be extracted 
from the OpenType font tables?
