    To add and clarify (had to finish the other email in a haste):

    What I wrote here above is how I see it on vim on my FreeBSD box through PuTTY
    as well as in gvim on Windows XP. So leaving aside the strange translation
    behaviour of, I guess, PuTTY, clearly vim is showing the wrong characters.

    Ughn, to make it even more confusing (I just tested something):

    When I :set arabicshape I get ﺖﻏییﺭ, i.e. what I wrote above.
    When I :set noarabicshape I get تغییر, i.e. what I expect it to be.

    Arabicshape is, when on, the option that should enable the proper initials and
    so on.

    I'm thoroughly confused by now so any help/clarification is welcome.
    Man, dealing with East Asian glyphs is easy in comparison! :P
