Kubuntu Vivid - unable to display Gujarati Text

[JantarMantar]

Applications built with qt5/KDE Framework 5 on Kubuntu Vivid Beta 1 can no longer render Gujarati script. This is probably due to

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44568

My Platform:
Kubuntu Vivid Beta 1

Packages affected: Any package built with Qt5 5.4 (e.g. konsole, Muon Package Manager etc)

Expected:
Render Gujarati script correctly (as was the case in Kubuntu versions prior to 15.04)

Actual Results:
Gujarati glyphs are displayed as squares

The above Qt bug is scheduled to be fixed in Qt 5.5. If Kubuntu Vivid is going to ship with Qt 5.4, will it be possible to include a patched Qt5.4 to resolve this specific bug?

There's Qt 5.4.1 brewing, but since it's currently blocked by a bug I'll include this in another 5.4.0 qtbase upload if it seems the blocker bug isn't seeing a fix soon.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package qtbase-opensource-src - 5.4.1+dfsg-2ubuntu3
