Yesterday, I've identified the problem, which is not related to GTK nor to Arabeyes font, but to a font configuration issue: it seems that another font (FreeSans, probably) contains arabic glyphs that get used instead of the Arabeyes font. Indeed, when removing all fonts but ae_Tholoth.ttf and then launching debian-installer, it rocks![1] [1] http://adn.diwi.org/tmp/d-i-arabic.png So we have to configure font-config correctly to get ae used first for Arabic language (however, 'fc-list :lang=ar' only returns ae font, but I am not font-config expert at all). Moreover, using ae as sans-serif default font is not acceptable too, as Frans has stated, as it may not be able to display all languages characters, and the quality is not as good as FreeSans (see [2]).
