OK .. if you will use the Windows cp1256 encoding.. it will not work .. you
need to save the file in the Unicode(UTF-8) encoding .. not even Unicode
(8859) .. but the UTF-8 .. remember that ..
About Linux .. writing in arabic inm UTF-8 is possible .. but there is no
shaping for the letters ( letters wil not be connected, but sepparate) .. if
you use QT3 ( download it and compile it) you can edit arabic with no
problems .. Take Care...
