Nice to see that wxWdinows can work with GTK2. In this case I think
pgAdmin3 and poEdit shouldn't have problems supporting RTL languages
like Farsi and Arabic (at least on Linux).

Jean-Michel, about fonts which support Arabic and Farsi language, we
have developed some fonts which support these languages. You can get
the font set at
http://www.linuxiran.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=6
these fonts work on both Linux and Windows.

alternativly, if you have any of these fonts "newspaper" "clearlyu" or
"Arial Unicode MS", they support Farsi. The first two can usually be
found in major Linux distributions.

Cheers
