AIX Fonts and Display issue

Hello Everyone,

have a question regarding fonts:

Code:
#env
root@oraapp:/>env
_=/usr/bin/env
LANG=ar_AA
LOGIN=root
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/1
PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java131/jre/bin:/u                                                    sr/java131/bin:/usr/vacpp/bin:/usr/vac/bin:.
LC__FASTMSG=true
CGI_DIRECTORY=/var/docsearch/cgi-bin
EDITOR=vi
LOGNAME=root
MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/root
LOCPATH=/usr/lib/nls/loc
PS1=root@oraapp:$PWD>
DOCUMENT_SERVER_MACHINE_NAME=localhost
USER=root
AUTHSTATE=compat
SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh
ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos

DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY=/usr/docsearch/html
TZ=SAUST-3
ENV=//.kshrc
ITECONFIGCL=/etc/IMNSearch/clients
ITE_DOC_SEARCH_INSTANCE=search
A__z=! LOGNAME
NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.                                                    cat:/usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US/%N.cat
root@oraapp:/>

Now from Console, when I list the directory, I can see the arabic text / font properly however, when I telnet or use xwindows session it doesn't show up.

it looks garbled up

Code:
rw-------   1 root     system          923 17 ▒▒▒ 13:00 .TTauthority
drwxr-xr-x  38 root     system         2048 17 ▒▒▒ 13:00 ..

That sounds logic. I was thinking in the same direction, but my lack of experience with PuTTy stopped me from posting.
