Re: Help needed - From a non-arabic speaking!

Hi,
I did the same procedure. And, I am able to see those fonts in applications (I 
mean if I use KWord, it is there). But, when I used KDE with arabic language 
set, then the applications are not showing arabic (just showing square boxes 
for each char)... For example, if I run KMail, it will show its menus from 
right-to-left, but the menu texts are mere square boxes instead of arabic 
chars!
