 that has the Arabic character set, you can enter arabic text.

 LANG environment variable or  set a default template for Arabic builds
 with the right font.

 You can use any of the KACST fonts, I would recommend the "KACST One"
 font.

 > Apart from the font is the rendering OK? Please report detailed bugs to
 the abiword mailing list.

 As stated above, when an appropriate font is selected, there are no issues
 (i.e. renders correctly).

 Which abiword mailing list? isn't it better if we all use the same system
 to report and track bugs?
