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 letter Dhad repeated thrice) ضضض It would appear like this ض ض ض This is a severe problem. This problem was not there before in breezy and it's only introduced in dapper. I am afraid there is a regression somewhere and my guess now it's related to dapper since I can't imagine that both KDE and GNOME break arabic suddenly at the same time in this severe way.
