Comment 3 for bug 119393

This is still an issue, and won't be fixed until somebody spends a lot of time adding Arabic shaping support to gfxboot, which is not at all trivial - it's still a valid bug but I'll set it to wishlist.

(And no, this isn't the same as bug 212491. While Arabic and Hebrew are both right-to-left languages, Arabic rendering is otherwise a completely different kettle of fish.)
