arabic not appearing on emacs-bidi on kde 3.2.3 suse

[Talal Al-Azem]

Hello.  I have recently installed emacs-bidi on suse 9.1, kde 3.2.3.  I have it running, but when I try to type in Arabic script in the right-to-left, it doesn’t appear correctly…i.e. don’t see anything on the screen, but I see the cursor moving.   Any ideas?  Thanks, and sorry for what must be such a ridiculous question.
