Maybe a wrong QFontMetrics::width() call causes these problems. For all width 
calculations, you will need to use QFontMetrics::charWidth, or (if looking at 
whole strings QFontMetrics::width( const QString & ). QFontMetrics::width( 
QChar ) will break for arabic due to the shaping engine changing the shape 
(and thereby also width) of the character.
