Odd, so why does Simon's 0.54 version (without any of our changes) show shaped Arabic glyphs ? Where are those characters coming from if they are not in the "Lucida Console" font ? > to be sure if a font has arabic glyphs or not check the "Script:" when > you're choosing the Font Name... I don't remember seeing Arabic listed on any of 'em, but I'll double check. In all sounds like we'll need to address (or at a min mention) this to Simon with regards to "Lucida Console" font. Does the font possibly have Form-B (0xFE70 - 0xFEFF) glyphs and not the ISO-8859-6 (0x0600 - 0x06FF) ? Salam. - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
