need help with Mandrake 10 KDE 3.2 "arabic"

["abbas al-mutawa" <almutawaabbas at hotmail dot com>]

Hi

i have a problem with KDE 3.2 and arabic support, kde "konqueror cannot
read any file with arabic name, it displayed as "???",

when I try to create a folder and give it an arabic name it displayed like
"?????", while i can write arabic correctly in the "create new folder
dialog box" and any editor.

even if i write  a paragraph in the "kwrite" and try to save it with arabic
name on the disktop, it appears like "?????" .

when i was using mandrake 9.1 i solve this problem by generating "AFM"
fonts coding "CP1256" from the "kfontinst " in the "kde control center" ,
but now this option is no longer avalibe under kde3.2.


plus, localedrake doesnt solve the problem, it change the interface to 
arabic, but it cannot read any file name if it is in arabic.

i.e if i create a file under any application and save it on the desktop with 
arabic name like "??????", the name appears like "?????", it seem that the 
desktop cannot read arabic fonts, i  try to change the font to one that 
support arabic, but the problem still exists.

note: i am using mandrake 10 with KDE3.2


thanks
