[Bug 11753] Re: Arabic support severely broken

[Munzir Taha (منذر طه)]

First, the bug is also available in ubuntu but with different fonts. e.g
in gedit change the font to KacstOne and you see the same bug.

Second, yes this happens with all the fonts from ttf-arabeyes package
which is in main repository, e.g: ae_AlMohanad

Third, font handling shouldn't be restricted to main repository fonts
only. I can understand that universe packages are not officially
supported but for fonts ubuntu should work with all the fonts as far as
those fonts work in other linux distributions and other operating
systems. Otherwise, a rumor would spread that arabs are not considered
"human beings" here. Just kidding ;)

Thanks Daniel.
