Again, this is needed for the Linux console, which is limited with a
character map of 512 characters. Or you can use the font LatArCyrHeb-16 .

Right, it is the hack for the 512 character limit...

I have already created my own Console-Font so I can write english,
german, french, spanish, turkish, arabic and farsi, but in UNICODE.

It is difficult to make the font, but the whole set does not exceed
the 512 character limit and I have many chars free...

under xterm you need only ONE font which support all desired languages
and then you should use, e.g., for mutt the "set display_filter=fribidi"
string BUT (!!!) use the one (version 2) from upstream since it has
heavy changed and does now support the shaping and oter stuff.

Now it works for arabic and farsi.
