For two days I was on the debian-l10n-greek because my oldest
daughter (She is greek) and there was someone which explained
me that the shaping is a issue of the font and not the program.

In greek it is the same problem as in arabic or farsi.

All informations about shaping are inside the console-font like in
iso07.f16. Why does nobody do the same with a arabic/farsi font.

As you know, I am learning arabic but I am fare away from creating
such console-font. 

Note:   The greek console is realy nice...

Curently I am trying something like

    echo "...some.arabic.text..." | fribidi -c ISO8859-6 -
or
    echo "...some.arabic.text..." | fribidi -c UTF-8 -

Which works very nice in all of my BASH-Scripts but the shaping is...
