BEHnam, Another for you from the Arabic-L list. (I'm also glad to see someone else noting that what is SMALL fontsize in English is WAY TOO SMALL in Perso-Arabic.)
-Connie -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 17 Nov 2003 From:Albrecht Hofheinz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject:Panther and Arabic As I have now taken the leap and installed Panther, I can at least partly answer my own question. Camino 0.7 and Firebird 0.7 both render vocalized text well-connected. Camino, however, has a new problem (or at least one that I hadn't previously noticed): it inserts a angle bracket (? not sure about the name: >) after each laam-alif ligature. Haven't had time for extensive testing, but just wish to report this. Firebird doesn't have this problem, so for now Firebird would appear to be the browser of choice for Arabic under Panther. Otherwise, I'm pleased to say that not only are we now approaching better legibility of Arabic web pages (you have to increase the font size, though), but that -- as others have reported -- Panther is also noticeably snappier than Jaguar -- finally an OS X system where I don't have to curse the speed of my iBook/500. Upgrading went smoothly for me. If you want to try for yourself, be sure to backup your important files, repair permissions, and read about the FireWire issues before you do; do an archive and install; and upgrade to 10.3.1 immediately after installing 10.3, and before using external FireWire drives. Once everything is upgraded, repair permissions again, and start working.
