Fixed by adding this line: ISO10646_UCS2_1=Courier New-iso10646-1; or any other font like Albattar, almatin, ... to ~/.mlterm/aafont or /etc/mlterm/aafont

Thanks to this post:

P.S: please be more thoughtful while writing your replies. Thanks

any idea?

I already have the fonts. I did apt-get install ttf-kacst ttf-arabeyes (I am on Ubuntu 9.04). The problem is already there!

MSameer - 23/07/2009 - 1:36pm

I already asked you to install the font I linked to. I don't care about anything else.

You should also add this line to ~/.mlterm/font 


ISO10646_UCS4_1=-arabeyes-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1;

If you use the CVS version of emacs, You can write Arabic in it!

who is speaking about emacs !

khaledhosny - 03/08/2006 - 11:18am

This w3m within mlterm, I can't see any emaces here.

BTW vim works for arabic, even without Arabic mode, nano works too, so who needs a buggy emacs cvs version to write in arabic :P
