NOTE: I had tried mailed this a few days ago, but there were
      some post issues and the message seems to have been
      dropped - here's the message again.

In fact I'm not, I was part of 'vimdev' but no longer am due
to the large amount of none-relevant mail...

Indeed we have -- do please look into and download the necessary
patch and fonts,

  http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=VIM

For further help/info, don't hesitate to let 'developer at arabeyes'
know -- do please reply to your own post on the vim's multibyte list
with this info in case others are interested.

BTW: I've asked Bram to include this seemingly innocent patch to no
     avail (so far) since he notes vim-6.3 being a bug fix version
     with no new features.  If you find this patch helpful, please
     persuade/encourage Bram to include it at his earliest convenience.
