Are you sure that vim-6.2-149+1.deb does not have arabic support ?
What does locale say ?
Hehe - yup, I'm pretty positive :-) The ':version' command
notes "-arabic" (vs. "+arabic") and if I invoke it with
'vim -A file' I get,
"E800: Arabic cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time"
For the record, I have an arabic enabled vim-6.2-154+1 (Debian
unstable), LC_*=en_US.UTF8 and can edit arabic files under mlterm
just fine.
Ah, cool then - we're using "testing" but it is good to see
that it is coming :-) Wonderful.
