OKay, it is working.. now i can see arabic letters, no shaping no Bidi 
(yepie skipie) but
1. i have noticed that sometimes a '?' is showed instead of an 'alef'.. any 
idea ?
2. another thing, if i don't change the font to an arabic one from the 
Window->appearnce i can't
   see the arabic letters.. guess that's normal i.e that's how it should 
work right?
any other notes i missed somewhere?
thanks Ahmad u r da man :)
