hallo,

My suspicion concerning the Arabic Presentation Forms A area was wrong.

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 arabeyes 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 even though i used suse 9.1 professional!

thanks a lot for your suggestions.

best
