I do not know if you have seen my reply in pubdevel regarding Arabic under safe mode (No OpenGL2), but I repeat here:
Under 0.10.5 safe mode, Arabic is not displayed correctly, but I noticed 3
instances where arabic characters will be displayed correctly under this
mode:
1. when the arabic character is a stand alone with space before and after
it.
2. I tested with a text in the sky cultures discription files and put the
arabic text between html <em> and </em> and then the whole arabic text
enclosed is displayed correctly.

3. The cardinal points south, north, etc.. are also displayed correctly as full
words.

For Normal mode Arabic is fine.
