Move the arabic-iso8859-6 character set back to C, otherwise X11 lookup fails. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * mule-charset.c: (syms_of_mule_charset, complex_vars_of_mule_charset): * lisp.h: Restore the creation of arabic-iso8859-6 in C, having it in Lisp isn't sufficient for X11 input to work. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * unicode.el (load-unicode-tables): * mule/mule-msw-init-late.el: * mule/mule-category.el (predefined-category-list): * mule/arabic.el: Move arabic-iso8859-6 back to C, it needs to be there, otherwise X11 character input lookup fails.

 ;;; Code:
 
-;; ISO 8859-6 is such a useless character set that it seems a waste of
-;; codespace to dump it. Let me count the ways: 
-;; 
-;; 1. It doesn't support Persian or Urdu, let alone Sinhalese, despite
-;;    plenty of unallocated code points.
-;;
-;; 2. It doesn't encode all the vowel diacritics (the Harakaat) despite that
-;;    they are necessary, even for the Arabs, for basic things like
-;;    dictionary entries, children's books, and occasional disambiguation.
-;;
-;; 3. The Arabs don't use it, they use Windows-1256, which also supports
-;;    Persian, at least, as well as the French characters necessary in
-;;    Lebanon and North Africa.
-
-;; But; it's necessary for input on X11.
