Arabic aditing

I have a problem with pages and most word processors for mac (including mellel) is that when I write arabic the corsur doesn't move at all,so I don't know if I pressed the space bar or not.Is there a solution for this?

John -- Do you really find Pages usable for editing Arabic? My impression from others is that it has so many bugs it is not practical. Besides Mellel, other usable apps are TextEdit, Nisus Writer Express, AbiWord, and NeoOffice/J. Cursor behavior may vary with the app and with the settings. TextEdit certainly moves the cursor. You might ask in the Mellel forums if there is a fix for that app:

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • Pages '08 Arabic doc prints in Tiger, not Leopard

    I have a Pages '08 doc that is a mix of Arabic and English characters which will not print fully in Leopard but prints fine in Tiger (on either a Xerox Phaser 4400n or an HP LaserJet 4200n). The printer prints a blank page or, occasionally, a PostScript error. It seems that the trouble is specific to the characters in this doc, as other Arabic docs print fine, even under Leopard. I've been able to get parts of the unprintable doc to print by selectively deleting text, but I wasn't able to narrow down exactly what the offending characters or strings were.
    Deleting and re-adding the printer and updating the HP printer drivers didn't help. Any suggestions on where I could look for error logs, fixes, further troubleshooting?

    I have a Pages '08 doc that is a mix of Arabic and English characters
    Pages often messes up Arabic text, especially when mixed with English, and it is normally recommended to use a different app for such things (Mellel is the best). Is your text known to be correct?

  • Arabic and Chinese characters are showing ??? in PDF

    Hi
    I hava an application which calls BI publisher API to generate PDF file from rtf temlate and xml input. It is fine for English contents. But the Arabic or Chinese characters are showing ??? in PDF. If I use BI publisher Desktop to load the xml and generate pdf file, it shows correct Arabic/Chinese Characters in PDF. I also copied ALBANWTJ.ttf file to my application JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts/ folder. But it still doesn't work. Anyone can help me with this?
    Thanks a lot!

    I created xdo.cfg and put it in my JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ folder. the file is configured as below:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">
    <properties>
    <property name="system-temp-dir">/tmp</property>
    </properties>
    <fonts>
    <font family="Default" style="normal" weight="normal">
    <truetype path="/fonts/ALBANWTJ.ttf"/>
    </font>
    </fonts>
    </config>
    But now I'm getting this error while generating pdf file:
    Adobe Reader could not open 'xxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    Is there anything wrong in my xdo.cfg?
    Thanks!

  • How to enter numbers in Arabic font in the fields

    Hi Everyone,
    I installed Adobe Reader 10.0.1 multi-Language and I am able to enter Arabic alphabet in the fields, but when I enter numbers in the fileds, it is English. I don't have this issue in MS-Word. i.e., both letters and numbers depend on my keyboard setting and is English or Arabic respectively. The numbers setting in windows in "depend on context" and I think is fine. Do you know how I can fix this issue? Is there any setting in Adobe that overwrights the Windows setting for numbers?
    Thanks a lot

    I won't say I am very clear about this topic. But I will give an example, which seems to show that number (in the double type) is logically of the form -000.00 while locale spacific String object can be both of the forms "000.00-" and "-000.00"
    // you can show the string below (formatted) on a JLabel with the following
    //<JLabel_instance>.setFont(new Font("Lucida Sans", Font.PLAIN, 22));
    NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new java.util.Locale("ar","EG"));
    //NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new java.util.Locale("fr","Fr"));   // compare
    DecimalFormat df=null;
    DecimalFormatSymbols dfs= null;
      if (nf instanceof DecimalFormat) {
          df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
          dfs = df.getDecimalFormatSymbols();
          dfs.setZeroDigit('\u0660');// set the beginning of the range to Arabic digits.. this can be commented out
          df.setDecimalFormatSymbols(dfs);
      String formatted = nf.format(-1234567.89);

  • Arabic characters are not getting displayed in oracle pdf output

  • Problem with Arabic characters

    Hi:
    I don't know if this is the correct place to post the question, but here it goes...
    I have an SQL 2005 database, connected via a Linked Server to an Oracle Database.
    I have a table in SQL that contains arabic characters, and I need to insert it into an Oracle table.
    These characters appear as "????" after being inserted in the oracle table.
    I guess I hace some collation/characterset problem, but cannot finf the solution.
    The column where the arabic characyers are saved in SQL is defined as:
         [Remarks] [nvarchar](1000) NULL,
    And default SQL server collation is: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
    When I do a select on this table, it can see arabic correctly.
    ORACLE NLS CONFIGURATION IS:
    PARAMETER VALUE
    NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
    NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
    NLS_CURRENCY $
    NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA
    NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,
    NLS_CHARACTERSET AR8MSWIN1256
    NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
    NLS_SORT BINARY
    NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM
    NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM
    NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
    NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
    NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY $
    NLS_COMP BINARY
    NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE
    NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP FALSE
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 11.1.0.6.0
    The sql sentence in SQL server that moves the data to oracle is:
    INSERT INTO openquery(Oracle_DB, 'select Ticket_NO,Remarks from webportal.webcc_escal_det')
         (Ticket_NO,Remarks )
         SELECT Ticket_NO, Remarks
         FROM Details(nolock)
    Thanks in advance!!
    Mariana

    I think first you should check your character set
    SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS where parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'
    For oracle to display correctly, you need to change your character set that caters to Arabic

  • Writing in Arabic in InDesign CS3

    A customer asked us to reproduce a card in Arabic.
    We have the scan of the card in .jpg
    Now, I enabled Arabic in the keyboard layouts,
    in International inputs and I do have arabic fonts that work.
    The problem I have (I am only able to recognize Arabic letters, I do not speak Arabic)
    is that even if the text is right aligned, the characters are added from the right,
    not the left. In other words, the text is right aligned but as I add characters
    they add themselves to the right of the characters that's already there.
    How do I do this?
    P.S. I noticed in Keyboard viewer (Mac OS Menu) that the Arabic letters are only shown
    in one form (individual letters) and I know that in Arabic letters are written differently whether
    there are in front, in the center or at the end (left) of the word. How do I know which character to choose if I'm not Arabic!
    Thanks

    There is this small utility software that will enable non Adobe ME applications to accept Arabic text. Just type your short Arabic text in arPIX pro, then copy and paste the text into InDesign. Text will stay as text after pasting in InDesign.
    Software is found here http://www.grapheast.com/ge-software/cp.php?id=99

  • Does migration to CUCM 8.6 to 9.1 requires aditional Money?

    Hi pals!
    We just completed migration to CUCM 8.6 a year ago, we are now (we want to) moving to 9.1, we have a question, if it requires aditional money $$$$ (license), por for upgrade or just a minor patch.
    Also.
    Does it also requires CUC 9.1?
    Does it also requires CUPS 9.1 too?
    I just read the quick guide to migration and I have a loot of questions, my Cisco Parthner is really busy right now with another projects, so I Think i just get the point of this topic.
    another BIG question.
    When will version 10 be releaded (more less)?
    I would better wait for version 10 instead version 9.1
    Can you provide some interesting links?
    I appreciate your time for your response, and I thank to you in advance.
    regads.
    john.

    John
    You don't need to pay any money for any major CUCM upgrade as long as you have active UCSS on it.  If as part of the migration to version 8.6 you purchased UCSS you are covered, otherwise you will need to pay for every major upgrade.
    If you did buy UCSS then you can simply request the upgrade vie the PUT upgrade portal.
    HTH,

  • Truncating arabic data/text when deployed on 10gAS, where as Eng is Ok

    DETAILS:
    When I run a report using report builder everything is fine. But when I deploy that same report on Application server & when I run from browser, the arabic data in the report is getting truncated ! where as English text/data is ok.
    To solved this problem I have to expand each text / item in report builder. But why with arabic only? And how the report is working fine when run using Report Builder? For some reports even after expanding still gets truncated while deployed on Application server.
    I think the FIX is around PDF. when report is deployed on AS, then output is generated in PDF & then above problem is encountered. Where as executed in Report Builder, output is generated in previewer which is fine.
    please help

    Some trigger (like when-mouse-enter or when-mouse-live) don't work with form deployed on web. I suppose that these triggers are not supported in deployd on web because the "client" browser shuld be constantly comunicate with the runtime engine.
