[Groff] Arabic support ?

[Khaled Hosny]

Hi all

I'm a member of an Arabic team ( arabeyes.org) working in localizing
Linux (and other *nx like systems).

Recently, we are working in translating manpages and I'm the coordinator
of that project, but unfortunately I found that groff doesn't support
Arabic at all (using 1.19.1 version) and all what I got is some
meaningless characters, I did some googling and searching in this
mailing list and what I found is that no way to use Arabic with groff
now - I hop that I'm wrong -.

In clear words, I need to know if groff supports Arabic or not. If it
do, how to get that support working. If not, is there any work around
for now, and when we'll have that support ?

If I can do any thing to help in this, please let me know and I'll tray
to help as far as I can.
