There are some problems with entering multibyte characters through the
LISP input window.  However, if you call the LKB within emacs, as
described in <http://wiki.delph-in.net/moin/LkbEmacs> then it should
work.  I don't know if there are any problems displaying arabic, but
we have had some success with Japanese and Korean.  Sometimes the LUI
interface works better than the LISP CLIM interface, although you will
have to specify the fonts you want:
