That's because the Arabic chars in Non-ASCII examples was in
`arabic-1-column' charset (this charset is kept just for
backward compatibility).  I changed them to iso-8859-6
characters (of course they are unified with Unicode).

But, please don't change the encoding.  As the file is in
iso-2022-7bit, when Emacs decodes it, `charset' text
properties (e.g. japanese-jisx0208 to Japanese charactes,
chinese-gb2312 to Chinese charaters) are added.  So, the
font-selection works better.
