Ok, thanks so much for your fast reply.
I just want to be able to print Arabic buffers to pdf or to printer. I
searched alot and then found the .emacs snippet that I included in my
email. If there is another easier way that will be great.
Regarding printing from other software, yes I am able to print, e.g.,
from Libreoffice. However, I did not try others.
Thanks and looking forward.
