Hi, any idea how to add arabic text in 3ds max 2009 ? please suggest, thanks.

"Use Text to create splines in the shape of text.The text can use any Windows font installed on your system, or a Type 1 PostScript font installed in the directory pointed to by the Fonts path on the Configure System Paths dialog. Because fonts are loaded only at first use, changing the font path later has no immediate effect: once you have used the font manager, you must restart 3ds Max before you can use a new font path."

Go to Help-> Autodesk 3ds max help
