> I did as it descriped in the README but nothing changed :-( I am afraid that the Pics script (and Gimp 1.2) doesn't support multibyte encodings such as UTF-8. This is why east Asian Pics are made by hand. (Since east Asian languages need several thousands of characters, they must be multibyte.) Well, I am a Japanese speaker and I made the Japanese Pics by using Gimp-1.3 with a semi-automatic Script-fu script. Can you try ISO-8859-6, a singlebyte Arab encoding? However, I don't think it supports word-top, word-bottom, word-intermediate, and independent forms of glyphs. Otherwise I think you have to make Pics manually. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
