    Hello.

    I'm having a problem with Abiword 1.99.4. If this is
    already a known problem and worked on I apologise for
    disturbing.

    I don't know Arabic at all, but I'm trying to get this
    one little word printed. "Keefak" basically means
    "wzup". The problem I have is that the characters
    don't combine correctly. This image illustrates the
    problem:

    The top row shows the way it should look (taken from
    GEdit, which doesn't print correctly). The second row
    is all the characters with spaces inbetween them. The
    third row is the way Abiword displays and prints it.
    As you can see the first character (to the far right)
    doesn't hook up to the second, and apparently that
    makes it look all weird.

    If anyone has time to look at this problem I'd be
    extremely grateful. Also if anyone has any tips for
    how to get this word printed properly to a ps file
    please let me know. I've been fighting with this for
    over a week now.

    Best regards

    /M
