I had no idea there were that many schools in Saudi Arabia.

I don't think kde-i18n-ar is even needed. However, did you install fribidi? If not then you need to do so. If that doesn't solve your problem, then the most likely culprit is QT. I don't know what version of QT came with Mandrake 9.1 but perhaps proper Arabic support was not there yet. As Nadim suggested upgrading to Mandrake 10+ will give you out of the box functionality with no headaches. I have nothing more I can suggest, but please if you have any further questions do let us know. I myself am from Saudi Arabia and would like to know how this turns out :-) Abdulaziz, __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
