Me too ;-): Arabi provides the input encoding cp1256 so without arabi, no
Arabic, especially on Windows.
So to come to an end, let's change the \R to \AR and \FR. This requires arabi but assures that it
works on all platforms and situations.
(I recommend to use arabi in this Wiki page for Arabic since a long time:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Arabic
I created this page after a collegue of mine complained about the difficulties
when he tested to
use LyX on Windows with Arabic.)
