Persian fonts with Mandarin Chinese and Hindi

Hi,

We are doing multilingual graamr engenering here and I have a font problem.

Currently I use MULE unicode together with GNU Emacs 22.3.1
(x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2008-11-23 on
build12.

(when t
  (load "mucs")
  (setq default-input-method "chinese-py")
  (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8))


;; to get the Hindi composition of characters right `so'
(when t
  (load "un-define")

  (push '(indian-is13194 . in-is13194-devanagari-post-read-conversion)
        un-define-post-read-conversion-charsets-alist))



(when t
; changes the default preference for Chinese instead of Japanese to get
ni1 right.
  (un-define-change-charset-order
   '(ascii latin-iso8859-1 latin-iso8859-2 latin-iso8859-3
           latin-iso8859-4 cyrillic-iso8859-5 greek-iso8859-7
           hebrew-iso8859-8 latin-iso8859-9 latin-iso8859-14
           latin-iso8859-15 ipa  indian-is13194 chinese-gb2312
japanese-jisx0208
           japanese-jisx0212 chinese-cns11643-1 chinese-cns11643-2
           chinese-cns11643-3 chinese-cns11643-4 chinese-cns11643-5
           chinese-cns11643-6 chinese-cns11643-7 chinese-big5-1

           katakana-jisx0201 thai-tis620 ethiopic
           chinese-sisheng lao vietnamese-viscii-lower
           vietnamese-viscii-upper mule-unicode-0100-24ff
           mule-unicode-2500-33ff mule-unicode-e000-ffff
           mule-ucs-unicode-multichar))

)

The following I got from a web page on emacs-bidi:

;; Arabic & Persian
;;   (set-fontset-font "fontset-default"
;;    (cons (decode-char 'ucs #x05b0) (decode-char 'ucs #x06ff))
"-m17n-*--20-*-iso10646-1")
;;   (set-fontset-font "fontset-default"
;;    (cons (decode-char 'ucs #xfb2a) (decode-char 'ucs #xfbff))
"-m17n-*--20-*-iso10646-1")
;;   (set-fontset-font "fontset-default"
;;    (cons (decode-char 'ucs #xfe70) (decode-char 'ucs #xfefc))
"-m17n-*--20-*-iso10646-1")
;;   (set-fontset-font   "fontset-default"
;;    (cons (decode-char 'ucs #x200c) (decode-char 'ucs #x200f))
"-m17n-*--20-*-iso10646-1")

It works in isolation, but not with the other specifications above.

What I need is something that displays the fonts correctly and does the
character composition. emacs bidi does that, but I do not need all the
functionality. The character composition together with standard left to
right display would be sufficient and even preferred for me. Is there
something that gets this with standard emacs? The character composition
should be there when I load the file, without having to do any command.

Thank you very much!

Best wishes

        Stefan
