1. well, this happens with me in linux sometimes... i just change the font 
and it works fine....

2. i dont know about that.... changing the font to arabic script is one of 
the reasons we have
to convert to CP-1256... so it was just a way to get it working, but i think 
there should be
another way without changing the script and without using CP-1256...
i'll look over at Unicode.org, to try to understand the difference between 
0x0600 characters
and 0xd800 -> 0xd9ff characters and 0xfe00 or Form-B or whatever that stuff 
is...

did u show it to PuTTY's author..? or did u know whats the next step...?

ak...
