I believe the same 20x10 "mono" font noted works for windows as well (check with the Cream project and/or the vim yahoo mailing-list archives; I don't deal with nor develop for the windows platform, sorry). http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=Khotot > I checked your website as suggested, but again I could find no reference > to windows fonts.

Again, check with those that use windows for better help - a number of windows users were able to report back being able to use Arabic from. You might find some pointers here, http://cream.sf.net > Thanks in advance, and thanks for making Vim available to the > Arabic-speaking (writing?) world. Our pleasure - your interest is certainly appreciated; make sure to note it to vim's developers as well (ie. make sure they know there are others out there that see value in this support).
