I would begin with posting here what the configure script displays at the end of its run, where it tells which features will be available in the build. Handa-san said in a message about a week ago what libraries to link against to get Arabic support, see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-08/msg01157.html Make sure you do what he says there, and ask questions if you have them. The versions of libotf you have might also help. There are a couple of other users of Cygwin here, so perhaps asking them to try to reproduce your problem would be a good idea. Asking on the Cygwin mailing list regarding the degree of support for bidirectional text in the ported libotf and its dependencies might also help. Hopefully, one or more of these will bring some ideas, and we could take it from there.
