SUSE 9.1 : arabic websites illegible
hallo, a temporaray workaround seems to exist. to recall, what worked initially, and what didn't: bad sites were: http://www.frankfurtbook-arabguest.net/index(a).html www.qantara.de here: arabic a good site was: www.bbc.com here: arabic The websites which were "bad" explicitly request a specific font (Times New Roman in the case of Frankfurt Book Fair and Tahoma in the case of Qantara). Since those fonts weren't installed they had to be replaced by something else and the replacement mechanism does not work well. First, it used KacstTitleL, an outline font - totally illegible. After installing the ae font bundle from www.arabeyes.org the situation became gradually better, but now there were sometimes two different fonts with different baselines in one word. Still mostly illegible. Since I have a dual boot configuration I copied the fonts from MS Windows and the "bad" websites now view allright. The "good" ones (like bbc) already came out right after installing the ae font bundle from arabeyes. i am happy as i can read my web sites , but not happy as this seems to require Microsoft stuff (which i always want to avoid...) even though i used suse 9.1 professional! i am not amused, since i had no problems at all with arabic web sites under suse 8.2! best petra -- Petra Dünges Übersetzungen aus dem Arabischen Waldwiese 13 D-66123 Saarbrücken Tel.: 0049-(0)681-3905847
