Using Qt version 4.0.0-rc1-snapshot-20050608 on
Mandrakelinux release 10.2 (Limited Edition 2005) for x86_64

I checked with the textedit demo by choosing Diwani Letter and then typing but 
the arabic letters are rendered in Tahoma font (my qtconfig font is Tahoma)!! 
Then I selected the text and chose the font again and now it's rendered in 
Diwani Letter. Weired!

Regarding the other font, Arabic Transparent, It's rendered in a font called 
ae_AlArabiya installed on my system whether I choose the font first or after 
selection!
