And here I was racking my head trying to figure out what I was doing
wrong! Its actually not just in KDE 3.3, as I'm using KDE 3.2.3 on
Mandrake 10.1 beta (yes go ahead and laugh...) and have the exact same
problem.

I'll tell you what fonts work and which ones dont. Neither AE nor KACST
fonts work. However, using the "urdu nastaliq unicode" font shaping
looks fine. This leads me to think that all fixed-width fonts should be
fine.

packaged 3.3.2... :)
