This is from Mr. Elzubeir's upcoming "Arabic HOWTO" guide.  Here's the
info regarding "mlterm" (BTW: your exceed info/directions will be inserted
into that howto at some point :-)

## excerpts from "Arabic HOWTO"

 $ ./configure --enable-fribidi && make && make install
       
Create a directory named ~/.mlterm in your home-directory with
two files: font and main. font should have: 

 ISO10646_UCS2_1 =
20,-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-arabeyes-1;

and main should have the following: 

 ENCODING = utf8
 fontsize = 20

Now once you start mlterm, you should be able to read Arabic under
any text-based application that supports UTF-8. Also, note that "less"
may not work unless you set the LESSCHARSET environment to 'UTF-8'.
