To get back OT lets hope this arabtex port is not missing because someone is offended by it. To be more serious I know ports has hebrew fonts, for example /usr/ports/hebrew/elmar-fonts/pkg-descr and /usr/ports/hebrew/culmus/pkg-descr. There are arabic fonts in /usr/ports/arabic/ About arabtex I just looked at http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/ifi/bs/research/arab_e.html which refers you to ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/ for download. Maybe this is a good project for some Arabic speaking person to take on? Making a port of arabtex I mean, if anyone does, be warned ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/ seems as slow as molasses. (is that phrase offensive these days? I never can be sure any more ) -Mike
