Emil:

where
is the right-to-left space?

Same place as the left-to-right space. The space character picks up its
directionality from the surrounding text. (UAX#9
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/ has all the gory details if
you're interested.)

Dear Emil Hersak,

I have just tested what Mr. John Hudson said,
Texted typed in Arabic Windows is displayed and printed correctly
in the non-Arabic Windows 98, but I was not able to change the Font Size.

 Well this is just a technical question, that I imagine that unicoder find
a
 way of resolving. I am finishing a volume of a journal that I am editing,
 and one text has a summary in arabic - with Office2000 used on a Win98
 Pan-European platform I can enter the summary letter for letter, but
where
 is the right-to-left space?

 Your best approach, for this one small job, would probably be to find
 someone who can enter the text for you on Windows 2000. You can then open
 the saved document on Windows 98, and the Uniscribe Arabic shaping engine
 (make sure you have the latest version of Internet Explorer) will ensure
 that the document displays and prints correctly on your older system.
 Although, with Uniscribe, it is possible to read and print Arabic
documents
 on the non-Arabic versions of Windows 98.
