Let me elaborate: The problem of Arabic script gets very frustrating as the needed glyphs have in fact unicode codepoints, so use in a font should be quite easy (compared to other languages like indic ones etc). But it is hit by the fact the presentation forms are at the 0xFB.. 0xFE.. ranges. I wonder, could it be possible to use a fontset solution, with a font covering the range of ascii (and maybe also greek, cyrillic, etc); and then another font covering the range 0xFB00-0xFEFF ? Then having XFree86 handle that transparently. As CJK support with stock fonts is possible using fontsets, the mechanisms to do it should be in place already, I suppose. Maybe, that would be a possible solution ? -- Ki �a vos v�ye b�n, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975 _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
