Me too ;-): Arabi provides the input encoding cp1256 so without arabi,
no Arabic, especially on Windows.
So to come to an end, let's change the \R to \AR and \FR. This requires
arabi but assures that it works on all platforms and situations.
(I recommend to use arabi in this Wiki page for Arabic since a long time:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Arabic
I created this page after a collegue of mine complained about the
difficulties when he tested to
use LyX on Windows with Arabic.)

Hi!
I've gotten LyX to work with arabtex (it turns out that arabtex is
included in the texlive-lang-arab debian package I downloaded last
night). It's not out-of-the-box, there is some setting up to do, but LyX
does still work with arabtex. I'll try to refine this and send in
instructions shortly. With arabtex, you can mix latin and arabic,
numbers work (both "arabic numerals" and numbers in Arabic).
I'm playing around with this a bit more, I'll send in more details soon.
But let's not go changing things around just yet, okay?
Can ArabTeX run on Windows, or does that not work?
