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 petra -- 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
