      Arabic requires shaping, thus I expected to see no changes in the rendered output when preferShaping is true or false.

      This might be a good opportunity to rename QFontEngine::scriptRequiresOpenType().

      Test code:

          Column {
        spacing: 20

        Text {
            text: "مُحَمَّدٌ"
            font.preferShaping: false
            font.pixelSize: 40
        }

        Text {
            text: "مُحَمَّدٌ"
            font.preferShaping: true
            font.pixelSize: 40
        }
}

      Result:
