It should. But anyway, Fedora Core 3 can display Arabic in a way that you can
see service names in Arabic (though with broken letters) that are started when
booting up. Not sure what package they use though.

But how can we fix this? If someone new to Linux is doing the installation in
Arabic get stuck with this, I bet he/she won't be able to figure it out.
Can we do anything just to fix this before sarge release? It's really important
otherwise all our translation and hard work will be in vain!

thanks,
Ossama
