salaam Ahmad
thanks for the work on minibidi and the prompt reply. With your new code I now 
get this (see below,the words are kitaab with the kasra and kutub without 
tashkeel). It seems the kasra (0x650) is becoming 0x4024 but other than that 
it all works fine. Any ideas?

: char 0 is 643
: char 1 is 650
: char 2 is 62a
: char 3 is 627
: char 4 is 628
: mark 0
: do shape
: do bidi
: back to QString
: add char fe8f
: add char fe8e
: add char fe98
: add char 4024
: add char fedb

: char 0 is 643
: char 1 is 62a
: char 2 is 628
: mark 0
: do shape
: do bidi
: back to QString
: add char fe90
: add char fe98
: add char fedb


wassalaam
