Ah but I don't want to change the application character set.

The application itself is not running in Arabic and nor do I want it to
- it just happens to have an Arabic string that I want to use as the
current form's caption.

I have accomplished this by creating a logical font from scratch and
only specifying the character set. Unfortunately the font chosen by
CreateFontIndirect() doesn't seem to be the system font so the caption
doesn't look right.

What I want is to be able to create a logical font based upon the
system font but with an Arabic character set.
