Well, when I'm about to edit Arabic text (or the Arabic part of a
multilingual page) I just do ":set gfn=Courier\ New\ 10" (using the GTK2
format, because that's how my current gvim was compiled); similarly
":set gfn=FZKaiTi\ 16" (without the quotes in both cases, of course, as
well as the next one) for Chinese, and ":set gfn=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\
Mono\ 8" to go back to Latin. Nothing fancy. I could write functions,
commands or mappings to automate it, but in this case I think the game
isn't worth the candle.
Best regards,
Tony.
