Getting VIM to write arabic under XFree86 4.2

[Anmar Ouea <anmar at canada dot com>]

Hello All..:

I think a small step is missed in the font setup of VIM.

XFree86-4.x ships with incomplete 10x20 fonts - to fix do this,

download arabeyes' true 10x20.pcf file
  http://www.arabeyes.org/download/external/vim/10x21.pcf.Z
$ mv 10x21.pcf 10x20.pcf     <== Should be a gunzip step since the 
dowloaded font is gzpd
$ gzip --best 10x20.pcf
$ mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/10x20.pcf.gz
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/10x20.pcf.gz.bak
$ mv path_to_new_font/10x20.pcf.gz
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/10x20.pcf.gz
$ xset fp rehash


It is not a big deal. I just wanted to make sure since I have done what 
was written but vim complains that the fonts specified is not the 
correct one.

Regards,

Anmar
