I don't understand. Currently Arabi is needed for Arabic. It provides for example the cp1256 input
encoding (was former bug 2927). (And when the user has installed arabi its files will be used. (You
don't need to call the arabi package in the preamble to use it.))
Mostafa, do you have infos about the other messages in this thread?:
