 | Test Case |

 1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to look like
 {{{
 KEYTABLE="us"
 XKB_MODEL="olpc"
 XKB_LAYOUT="us,ara"
 XKB_VARIANT="olpc2,olpc"
 }}}

 2. From Sugar-Control Panel, select Arabic (Algeria)

 3. Restart sugar

 4. Verify the following
  * There are only Latin and Arabic glyphs on the UI (no funny looking
 boxes, and no stars enclosed by circles)
  * Typing of Arabic numerals works as per the layout at
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Arabic_Keyboard
  * Latin text, while being typed should not come up as ugly looking Italic
 Comic Sans like fonts
  * The keyboard test mentioned above should be carried out in the Sugar
 mesh search bar and in Write with
    * The Mothanna font selected
    * The Thabit font selected
