if u want to serve arabic pages using apache then u should add Win-1256 to the supported languages in apache's config files, i did that long ago and i forgot how to, but its very easy.
look around and tell me what happens.

Salam,

I'm happy to see this thread here. I'm Hamad from Kuwait. As for Arabic support, I can read/write arabic in almost every application. I don't know why some of you find it hard. I'm sure with a hint or two you'd get it in a couple of minutes.


Good luck! :)

Salam all, Im an arab from Lebanon living in Canada. I used gentoo for a while and I wasnt very happy with the arabic fonts (if you only rely on portage). If you decide to install from other sources and recompile stuff it will work but if you want to keep the system perfect and only use portage then Im not sure how. The brother / sister from kuwait said its working on most apps. Please enlighten us, specially mozilla, firefox, kde ... etc and through portage (is it possible to add a USE flag or something?). Thanks.

Salam all,

Another Arab member, my name is Ayman, I have been here for a while, but I haven't noticed this thread till now.

As for your question eelleemmeenntt, first follow the Arabeyes howto to set up Gentoo with Arabic support:
Howto: English Arabic
The most important 2 are: kernel options and locale.

The only USE flag I have related to Arabic is bidi, add it to your USE flags.

Then emerge arabeyes-fonts or kacst-fonts, if you are not happy with these fonts, you can copy other font files to /usr/share/fonts.

Now you need to set up keyboard layout, this depends on your desktop env, in KDE you can use Control Center > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Layout.

In Gnome, right-click a panel, select Add To Panel > Utility > Keyboard Indicator, then right-click the new applet, select Open Keyboard Prefs, add Arabic to the layout list.

Is anybody interested on working on a Arabic howto specific to Gentoo? I see this question quite often on the forums, I can put together one when I have some free time, I wonder if anyone wants to work on it with me.

assalam alaikoum,
what i wanted to say is that as suggested it might be nice to have documentation on how to setup arabic support (input/display/printing) independently from kde or gnome (i am using openbox currently)
we can use http://gentoo-wiki.com/Main_Page for that ;)
i would also like to know how many arabs are there, because it would be nice if we had an arabic section in the forum ...

An Arabic forum would be great, but unfortunately, I think we need more Arab members for this to happen.

As for the howto, yeah it would be much easier using the wiki, I can start working on it early next week, any ideas/plans?
