As long as you manage to have an xterm running with Arabic fonts, all the applications that run in a terminal should be able to at least display characters in Arabic. For instance, I don't need to do anything special to read Greek characters in vim, once I start an xterm with the proper font: xterm -fn lucidasanstypewriter-greek-12 I don't know where and how one might look for Arabic X11 fonts though. You might want to search the XFree86 mailing lists, in case someone has already posted useful pointers. Then the article at http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/fonts will be of some help, as you try to install these fonts in X11.
