 Most commonly used Arabic fonts represent the individual letters as
 numbered blocks. The occasional one does get presented as actual Arabic,
 but I haven't been able to figure out when or why. When I copy the text
 from the window to say, notepad, I DO get the actual Arabic text.
 This is under windows Vista. I will attach two screenshots: one from an
 Arabic room, and one of the same stretch of chat, copied to notepad, which
 is readable (if one reads Arabic, that is).
