Salam:
My objective is to get the ar-utf8 file rendered 100% properly. Vorlon and Christian Perrier (bubble) are really keen on having arabic fully supported.
Of course this is only the first step. The next major step is to get Debian to add libfribidi and the patch vorlon is working in base . This is gonna be difficult as the base for Debian testing and sarge have been frozen in anticipation of Debian Sarge release.
I will keep you guys in the loop as to what happens with me
Thanks
Anmar

I popped into #debian-boot to see how the Arabic inclusion was going and was told that its there (ie. done).
I then noted that its "pretty close, yet shaping issues remain"
17:56 <vorlon> For the code, please see http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/d-i/bidi/ -- slang-bidi.diff is the diff, or the whole source package is also available.
Vorlon (ie. Steve Langasek) has already fixed the bugs (so no need for any special attention just yet - although composing characters still remain an issue),
http://tennyson.netexpress.net/~vorlon/ar-utf8.png
His files and fixes have been uploaded to the URL noted earlier.
It would be ideal to see some d-i screenshot of strings with harakat (ie. composing characters) in them to get that resolved while the topic is still relevant; Anmar, can you push for that and keep us posted ?
Salam.
