    Dear All,

    I have installed Abiword 1.0.3 under windows 2000. I
    want to use Abiword to type a manuscript in Arabic and
    English. I have TITUS Cyberbit Basic uniocde font
    downloaded from
    http://titus.fkidg1.uni-frankfurt.de/unicode/tituut.asp
    .

    Here is what I have done: I set Tools--Set Langauge to
    Arabic. Click on "force RTL direction of text" button.
    Then select font (TITUS Cyberbit Basic). It gives me
    English letters, and does not let me type Arabic.

    How do I configure Abiword to let me type Arabic.

    Regards,

    Mumtaz
