Using OpenOffice 643c with CTL Support, and writing in Arabic seems to have
 few probelms, related to displaying the ZWNJ character. The ZWNJ (U+200C) is
 used after the ligature LAM_ALEF in Arabic. In OpenOffice it displays an
 empty box after the ligature, or some time time over it, depending on the
 font. Strangly the probelm did not show in all fonts, but it did with most
 of the fonts what work fine with other applications such as Mozilla. Fonts
 that caused the probelm include Tahoma and Arial and may others (imported
 from Windows).
