<Take this line, please>

One of our customers is currently involved in a project which requires
a significant documentation effort in Arabic.  They need to incorporate
drawings and textual matter.  They have a desire to add the capability
to existing equipment if possible.  The existing equipment has various
graphics terminals (TEK, Sun, etc.) attached to a mainframe.  All major
computer languages are supported.  TeX is a possibility, if anyone can
point us to editors and fonts for Arabic.

The customer's staff includes a number of Arabic-speaking persons, none of
whom have any idea where to start looking.  Someone out there in net.land
must know.  Please respond by mail.  Please request follow-ups by mail.

Thank you in advance.
