Hi,
For our school I just downloaded the Windows version of Abiword.
We want to use Abiword on a Win98 comp. with Arabic language support. The
computer has Wordpad and I can choose Arabic fonts and type Arabic.

It was _very_ easy to set R > L in Abiword. A great advantage!!
We have Arabic fonts and I can see the Arabic fonts in the fonts menu.
When I select an Arabic font, it appears in the font window.
However, when I type (indeed from R > L !!), I get the Western characters.
I checked the Manual, FAQ and mailinglist, but could not find anything (to
my best of knowledge)
Question: How can I get Arabic fonts working in Abiword.
Thanks in advance for an answer,
Dirk
