Arabic looks fine.  The reason it might look "odd" or incomplete
is because Arabic now needs what's termed 'shaping' to join
the characters, but its nothing that you should concern yourself
with (unless you are really interested :-).  I'll take a look
into adding the shaping code to fvwm once I have some time.

BTW: for what it's worth - fribidi will include a library call to
     do the shaping for us; on second thought, let me double-check
     with them on a release date before I start adding potentially
     redundant code.

I'll download tomorrow's fvwm-snapshot to confirm usage :-)

Thanks for all your help !!!
