i checked the unicode.org and read some of the doc's over there but i didn't 
know where is the doc. that talks about different fonts and way to represent 
them .. if u get the link please pass it to me so that i catch up.

i haven't contacted Simon regarding this work;
but i think that we should work on the CVS thing first because CVS's Putty 
is old and experiemental. Of course we need to get a CVS account etc, 
Another thing is how to add the patch, should we add it as a source file and 
whoever downloads the code will compile PuTTy with the changed file, or by 
another way to present the patch  ??

Ahmad, the main step now is to get a technical doc. from simon explaining 
how we should include bidi and shaping in putty.
