1) Can anyone recommend a screenfont (Linux/X11) which has glyphs for
the points (FATHA, etc.) --- the font I'm currently using just shows a
box...
Install "msttcorefonts" of microsoft fonts.
2) The current Arabic keymap lib/kbd/arabic.kmap doesn't provide the
points, as far as I can see. Is this because it follows a standard
layout, but the standard doesn't provide them? Is there a standard
layout which we could follow which would allow us to add these?
Yes definitely there is a standard keymap for arabic and I will look for it,
as well as one for Farsi.
