[maemo-developers] RSS Feed Reader not displaying Arabic properly after installing the Arabic Fonts

[From: Mohammed Hassan]

Even with 2008 OS, you won't have a fully Arabized device.
It still needs:
*) input methods (I'll be hopefully working on that). I'm just waiting
for my device.
*) Arabic glibc/xlib locale (Hadn't investigated yet)
*) Translations (I'll not do that)
*) Maybe a theme or whatever. I don't know yet.

Help'd be much appreciated for sure (-:
