hallo, my arab eyes can't see through the internet any more!
to be more specific: with Suse linux 8.2 i could read arabic websites perfectly well, but with Suse 9.1 they are illegible. this is a big problem for me, as i need the arabic internet for professional reasons. the support suggested that there was a bug and i should report it. but so far i got no response when i reported the bug, and their mailing list m17n did not respond, too. do you suffer from the same problems? or do you have 9.1 and are happy? is there any workaround? 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?PHPSESSID=d6d5daf180b08ab0ce6d4437988a498f 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 things are somehow 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 duenges -- Petra D�nges �bersetzungen aus dem Arabischen Waldwiese 13 D-66123 Saarbr�cken Tel.: 0049-(0)681-3905847 _______________________________________________ General mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/general
