Wrong character spacing when printing arabic text to PDF output, and wrong text alignment when printing the same text with the same alignment options to a normal printer

I'm trying to print an Arabic text to PDF file and to a normal printer using QPrinter. I face two different problems.

First, when printing to PDF, text appears as if cracked; with spaces between characters (letters) that should be there.

Second, when printing to a normal printer the text appears correct, but with [B]wrong[/B] text alignment !

printing code:

[CODE]void Widget::printDocument(QPainter &painter, QPrinter &printer)

{ qint32 margin = 40 ; QRect rct = printer.paperRect().adjusted(margin, margin, -margin, -margin) ; painter.drawRect(rct) ; QTextOption toption ; toption.setTextDirection(Qt::RightToLeft) ; QFont fontTitle("Arial", 36) ; fontTitle.setBold(true); painter.setFont(fontTitle); QString title = ui->leTitle->text().trimmed() ; toption.setAlignment(Qt::AlignTop|Qt::AlignHCenter); painter.drawText(rct.adjusted(0, 10, 0, 0), title, toption); QFont fontText("Arial", 28) ; painter.setFont(fontText) ; QString text = ui->teText->toPlainText() ; toption.setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft|Qt::AlignHCenter); painter.drawText(rct.adjusted(0, 10+painter.fontMetrics().height()*4, 0, 0), text, toption); }

void Widget::on_pbPDF_clicked()

{ QString fileName = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, QString(), QString(), QString("*.pdf(*.pdf)")) ; if(fileName.isEmpty()) return ; QPrinter printer ; printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter::PdfFormat); printer.setOutputFileName(fileName); QPainter painter(&printer) ; printDocument(painter, printer) ; painter.end() ; QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(fileName)) ; }

[/CODE]

attached a sample qt project that shows the problem. and the resulting pdf and how the resulting printed to a normal printer looks like .
