[XeTeX] Farsi/Arabic

[Loeghmon T. Nejad]

Christoph,

(OOPS!) Now I remember, I archived the instructions you sent me once,
but I could no longer locate it when I restarted to experiment with
Xetex recently. I make sure I visit xetex archives and read your post.
Sorry about that.

The reason I started with Etch and not Sarge, was its reputation as a
stable enough release!

Thanks again.
