Hi Folks...
Still trying!  As noted below, I followed Tim's instructions and downloaded the 
Urdu character set.  However, I was not able to access it from Write.  I spent 
some time working on this with a person who speaks and reads several middle 
eastern languages. Any ideas?  What should I try next?  Has anyone changed to 
another character set on their own rather than getting it that way from the 
factory?

Thanks Tim.  The download seems to have gone smoothly. It reported that 
paktype/teheer is now available.  However, when I went to the Write Activity, 
it did not appear among the available choices. Will it have a different name?  
There are several fonts labeled with letter codes such as kacstPen, cmsy10, 
wasy10, etc.

Hi...

Ed Cherlin suggests installing an Urdu font (on the XO, I assume).  So, where 
do I find instructions for doing this and the file I would need to download to 
the XO?  Why isn't it already there or on the wiki.  People are using Urdu 
keyboards, right?

Hi Caryl,
This was hinted at during the original answer. Connect the XO to the Internet, 
open the Terminal Activity and run 

yum install ttf-paktype/tehreer
This asks Fedora to install the typeface for you. Do let me know how you get on.
