Arabic DrakX

Hi all,

I posted here a few weeks a list of things to do in drakX for fix the Arabic 
fonts issue in Mandrake's installer. 
Since no one has done it, I have done it myself. I run into problems (btw, 
what an ugly font for Latin's glyphs.. now I understand what mdk is 
thinking...). 

For some reason, the Latin glyhps from the ttf font are used. I dont know why 
actually them and not other font, and that is the problem Mandrake has about 
thease fonts. I will try and set an "cripple arabic font" without Latins, and 
so it will provide only arabic. This hack may work. 

Unfortunally, when I started my new disk, and choose arabic (or farsi, sorry I 
cannot distinguish them), I got a message which claims that the installation 
has not translations for this language. Acording to :

DrakX is about 88% now. It was higher in 9.2. Can someone explain this to me?
