Dear Arabeyes contributors, The latest Debian Installer builds now work completely for the 1st stage of the install in Arabic (probably some display problems here and there, which we can't solve until we have an Arabic speaking developer in the team).
However, when reaching the 2nd stage of the install (after the system reboot), the environment is then more or less that of the future system. There, the locales ar "ar_XX" which are all using the ISO-8859-6 charset by default. The result is a very bad display as, if I unerstood properly, the ISO-8859-6 charset only includes basic Arabic characters. As a last minute fix, because of the upcoming release, I have changed the default locales to be UTF-8 for Arabic, and the 2nd stage then uses jfbterm as it does for Asian or Hebrew languages. Do you think that choosing this is OK and will not hurt our future Arabic users? -- _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
