However, Arabic is one of those scripts that runs up against the real
limitations of the windows console. At least on non-Arabic versions of
Windows, you'll just get a sequence of boxes, and it won't do any
bidirectional processing either. I have no idea what, if anything, it
would do differently on Arabic versions of Windows.
