displaying Arabic fonts in QtWebKit

Question

I wrote a program with QtWebkit. I used Arabic fonts in this application. But the text as shown below was inapplicable. Whether there is a solution to fix it?

<script type="text/javascript" >
    var step=1;
    function plusZoom1(){
        document.getElementById("para1").style.zoom = parseFloat(step);
        step +=0.5;
    }

    function minusZoom1(){
        step -=0.5;
        document.getElementById("para1").style.zoom = parseFloat(step);
    }
</script>
<body>
<input type="button" value="+" onclick="plusZoom1();" />
<input type="button" value="-" onclick="minusZoom1();" />
<p id="para1">

}

qt code : {

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QWebView>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QWebView wv;
    wv.setUrl(QUrl::QUrl("qrc:/rc/a.html"));
    wv.show();

    return a.exec();
}

}

Can you edit the code into the question? – Blender Sep 04 '12 at 19:03 — Blender, Sep 04 '12 at 19:03

I faced similar problem long time back. Qt was not displaying some Arabic characters as they should appear. I had to change Qt's font drawing mechanism and use 'FreeType' font library for drawing fonts. You can use FreeType. More information here: http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html

Or you may use some other graphics engine to bypass Qt's drawing - which can display these fonts.
