complex langs/scripts in abiword

[Dov Grobgeld]

I checked out Arabic rendering under Fedora 11, Abiword 2.6.8, and there
seems to be some problems. I entered the non-sensical text
MEEM-NOON-MEEM-NOON (by using gucharmap, since I don't know the arabic
keyboard). I also chose the font DejaVu Serif Bold as in the PaleXO blog and
the result was four blocks that pango uses when the glyphs are not known.
But this does not make sense since gucharmap does show that there are glyphs
for this fonts.

(There is another problem for DejaVu Serif as well that it does not connect
the meem and the noon, but I assume that is a font problem.)

Regards,
Dov
