I agree with ElZubeir. For Fedora there is already "fonts-arabic"
RPM which has the KCAST fonts. I belive we should submite Arabeyes
fonts to be included as well, maybe "arabic-fonts" should have
both.  I updated the bugzilla to see if Owen can review arabeyes
fonts so it can be included in the package.
