J2SE Version (please include all output from java -version flag):
 java version "1.4.0-beta"
 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b65)
 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b65, mixed mode)

Does this problem occur on J2SE 1.3? Yes / No (pick one)

  No, OpenType font is not supported in 1.3. It works ok
  with Merlin previous builds but has this problem since build 62.

Bug Description:

  Apps use OpenType font and its user interface is entirely in Arabic
  has severe drawing problems.

  The applicatoin has 3 panels - these can be selected from the tabs
at the right hand side of the screen. The first panel is a table
of contents for the Koran. Each row is a chapter. You can select from
here a chapter and press the 'show' button at the bottom left. The show
button takes you to the Koran text view in the third panel.

  It requires a connection to the Internet as the rest of the application
is running on their web server in London. To bring up the attached sample application you have to run as:

    java -Dhttp.proxyHost=webcache-cup -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -jar InternetQuran.jar
 
  and select the first row in the first panel and press the 'show' button.
You will notice that part of the second line of the text draws on top of
the third line. If you select other sections of the Koran you will notice
the same problem occuring in different places.

(an important note: some sections of the Koran are very long so the
application may appear to freeze for a while as it downloads and formats them).
