hallo, 1. How to reproduce: with mozilla and konqueror for example the following websites are not rendered properly http://www.frankfurtbook-arabguest.net/index(a).html http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_softlink.php/_c-339/_lkm--1/i.html?PHPSESS... 2. This is not working: when i select in mozilla edit/preferences/appearance/fonts then for Arabic the default is serif (for serif,sans-serif,cursive,fantasy,monospace) with this default the websites are totally illegible: they have some pseudo-arabic feeling, but the fonts are looking very strange. when i select Arabic Newspaper thngs are sowmhow better: I can read some things, but not all - in arabic the letters have to be joined sometimes and this does not work in some cases. sometimes a letter is put below the line. the "arabguest"-site looks fairly well but even there this problem appears and one letter is replaced by something strange the "qantara" site looks much worse i have tried to select other things besides Arabic Newspaper but nothing seems to solve the problem as far as i know i have installed all arabic fonts that came with suse 9.1 with suse linux 8.2 there was not problem at all for these websites. and there was no special configuration necessary. i still have this linux version, but on another computer which now has severe problems with its hard disk . so i cannot rely on it. thanks a lot for every hint. petra dünges -- Petra Dünges Übersetzungen aus dem Arabischen
