After the 3.4 firmware update I tested support for Arabic and Hebrew. While Hebrew text with and without diacritics works fine, only Arabic text without diacritics is displayed correctly and for some reason I wasn't able to select the Publisher Font option. I.e. it seems that it's not possible to select embedded Hebrew or Arabic fonts.

They also fixed the annoying French dictionary lookup bug, that made it impossible to look up words that started with a single letter followed by an apostrophe and the actual word. E.g. "l'honneur."

Edit: After further tests I found out that Arabic diacritics work in Fixed Layout mode.
