Examples:
Package: acon
Maintainer: Ahmed El-Mahmoudy <aelmahmoudy@users.sourceforge.net>
Version: 1.0.5-4
Description: Text console arabization
The function of acon is to display arabic text from right to left,
and process it to change the letter shape according to its position
in the word.
and general UTF-8
Package: dynafont
Maintainer: Piotr Roszatycki <dexter@debian.org>
Version: 1.0-23.7
Description: Module for konwert package which loads UTF-8 fonts dynamically
This is a tool which allows displaying texts containing thousands of different
characters. It switches console to UTF8 mode and loads required fonts
dynamically. It is recommended to use this tool with filterm(1) tool,
i.e. by executing 'filterm - dynafont' command or 'filterm - 512bold+dynafont'
if you are not using framebuffer.
.
The tool works with UTF8-compatible applications, i.e. lynx(1).
There are problems with 8-bit only applications.

Do you use mutt in the console?
set display_filter="fribidi"
:-)
and it should work if you have "dynafont" installed.
Oops, I have forgotten to say, you need fribidi2 which has heavy
enhancements. (I am on the fribidi list on <freedesktop.org>)

Letters which do not exist in arabic are: pe, cim, ze and gãf
Hmm, I can not put the inverted ^ on the top of the c(im) and z(e) im my
Sarge console... I should upgrade my TP570 to Etch... :-)
