Thanks moody.

In that case, more mappings like Arabic percent, the Arabic digits
(not Farsi) etc.  could be updated to match.  But that's for another
day.

As a side note which made me interested in this patch: I've only
recently started using more Arabic, but haven't used it via VNC,
mainly because the computer I'd VNC into has a much higher resolution
than my 9front display, so I only see a portion of the screen.  I
don't see an easy way to scale the viewing window like some other VNC
viewers do.  So being able to scale, or have the ability to view a
different part of the remote buffer, is a blocker.
