This is doable in vim? vim supports multiple fonts and formatting (bold, underline), etc in a *wysiwyg* manner? Maybe katoob, but not vim. However, I tried OpenOffice on the Arabbix cd and most of the fonts looked the same. I didn't find anything that actually produced professional looking text. I could read Arabic pages with Mozilla but they were ugly. The Arabbix cd needs to have some pretty fonts by default.
I already looked at the document. The first step is to compile the kernel. While I love hacking around with my computer, I don't have time. I installed XP and simply enabled Internationalization. Arabbix is close, but it needs some work. Perhaps the most pressing things (from my perspective) are to get Mozilla stable (since it was crashing like crazy) and to configure Mozilla and Open Office to have some reasonable fonts.
