Hello,

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r2 WOODY

I have seen, that fvwm 2.5.8 has /usr/share/locale/ar ;-)
which is very fine, but I cant get the arabic font running.
I have installed 'mozilla' and 'openoffice.org.1.1' with
the arabic language packs.

I have set the locales to 'ar_MA' for Morocco and installed
xfonts-intl-arabic but it does not work...

The menus are there but there is no text exept the "undeline"

I have had on my old system an arabic font iso8859-6 but I do
not know where I have botten it.

I can not use UTF-8 because it conflicts with to much other
Packages.

I have tried:

  ____ /home/michelle/.Xresources ______________________________________
 /
| font: -arabic-newspaper-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
 \______________________________________________________________________


but without luck. Is there anyone which can help me ?

I need it urgently, because in some month I will migrate to
Morocco and I need a working franco/arabic System.

Oh yes, in KDE it works... but I can not use 'mozilla' or
'openoffice.org1.1' paralel with KDE on a PII/333 with 256
MByte or memory.

They are not so rich to buy better Duron 800 :-/

And why KDE or GNOME if fvwm 2.4.16 works perfectly ?
OK, I will backport 2.5.8 to WOODY


Greetings
Michelle
