Any

I can see none of the text displayed on designer app is screwed up.

So font metrics should be calculated properly. Otherwise sizeHint()s of labels would be incorrect and labels and layouts would be squeezed. I'm still convinced the problem is not there in QFontMetrics.

This may not be correct way to see the designer app for verifying the said problem.
It is better to try out this with customizing the QGraphicsItem to draw the "1000" number.
If it is not too much headache for you can you please try it.

Why not?

I don't have a Mac, so this won't do you any good.

May be designer app does load qt_ar.qm or qt_he.qm

I have written sample app which has customized the qgraphicsItem to draw "1000 1/2".
I have also written one more application which has customized QWidget to draw "1000 1/2".

And both has same problem on Mac OS X in RTOL locale.

If there is any problem in my code then this should not work on windows in any locale.

Please have a look on the sample applications i have attached here.

That's not true. Some behaviour might be different on both systems and this difference might cause your problem not to reveal itself. If you are convinced this is a bug then simply report it to the Trolls - your QFontMetrics example should do the trick.
