Ghita, if you are looking for Arabic console support look into BiCon [1];
if you are looking for terminal emulator support look into using mlterm
with vim or emacs or mined or... In all you should really go through
the 'Arabic Linux HOWTO' on Arabeyes' documents page [2].
Hope that helps.
I'm CC'ing the 'developer' list which you should use in the future for
further questions/queries.
