Arabic font displaying incorrectly

I used Avery Design and Print onine to create labels and have inlcuded Arabic text. It all looks fine until I download the document as a pdf file where the text becomes jumbled up. In other words, the Arabic letters are still present but it's all mixed up rather than connected the way it should be. I have used Times New Roman for the Arabic text and have also tried different fonts like Arial and Verdana. I have used both Macs and PCs , as well multiple browsers including Chrome, IE, and Firefox. My default browser is Chrome, however. Also, I do have the latest version of Adobe Reader download, if that helps. I have been trying to figure this out for a few hours and nothing is working!! Please help!!!!!!!!!!

Chrome and Firefox use their own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
Since it fails on all three, my first suspicion is that the problem lies with the software that created the PDF.

Chinese font displayed incorrectly in Windows XP

We are creating pdf documents in our business system containing chinese text and therefore using Windows SimSun font as default. Pdf files shows up correctly in Windows Vista, 7 and 8 but in Windows XP it displayes incorrect characters.
If I copy and paste the text from pdf to Notepad in Windows XP and select the SimSun font it diplayes correct characters. Problem is in Adobe Reader, we have tested from ver 9 and up to the latest but still showing incorrect characters.
Any ideas on why this is happening on Windows XP ?

Do you have the appropriate Chinese font pack installed on any of these computers?

Fonts display incorrectly in published page - iWeb 08

Sorry, another moan / question about iWeb 08.
I started to create my site with iWeb 06 and upgraded to iWeb 08.
My published site looks perfect in safari, firefox, opera and omniweb in OSX.
But in internet explorer and firefox for windows, the fonts in most text boxes do not display properly (reverts to a basic font, not the one specified).
As far as I can tell, if it is a plain textbox, the text displays incorrectly, but if, for example I add a hyperlink to the exact same box, the font changes to the one I specify. (Also some text boxes with a filled background or a border seem to display correctly).
Any ideas how to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated.

I asked the same question about a week ago......what people have told me is edit the border, frame or text in photoshop, if I'm not changing thta part of the page....
Are your podcast, blogs and photo pages working ok in IE or Nestcape???.......For me in IE the text and the fonts where the problem.......but in Netscape that was ok, but the podcast, nav bar, photos and blogs are not showing.......When I was using iWeb 06 I did not have this problem......

Font displays incorrectly

I have set Verdana as my display font in all circumstances and always have done with all versions of Firefox. But in this version, on CERTAIN text (e.g. on Google searches, all text beneath the link), the font displays in some 'comic' style font that is near completely illegible.
Certain parts of the webpages are fine and do display in verdana, but not sure why as there are 3 settings for fonts in preferences, serif, sans serif and monospace, but it could have nothing to do with these as they are all set to Verdana as is the default.

WebHelp Font Displays Incorrectly in Browser

Using version X5.0.2
Generated WebHelp and uploaded files from SSL! folder to
client's FTP site. When they upload files (all files from the SSL!
folder), the Help text font displays as Times New Roman. However,
the style sheet I used to create the Help set font type at Tahoma.
Also, I'm not sure why, but when I generate the WebHelp, two style
sheet files appear, one named MS_Help.css and the other named
MS_Help_ns.css.

Hello MaLoCo123 -
Re: two style sheets - correct and normal (one for IE and one
for Netscape).
As to the displayed font, not your fault UNLESS you didn't
follow your agreed upon project standards. This is user (client)
setting dependant.
If I opened your Webhelp from my home I would not get what
you want because I don't do Windows and I don't have Tahoma on one
of my Linux boxes (the one I would use to view your project).
I would see what I specify in my browser preferences
regardless of what you wanted, even on a Windows box.

Arabic text displayed incorrectly on sites!

Arabic text characters are all connected one to another in a word, but FireFox displays the letters right, except they are disconnected and each letter is on its own, making it very difficult if not impossible to read.
What I used to do in the past is, pages that contain Arabic Text for me such as Facebook, I used to install IETAB2 and set facebook to always open with IETAB and then the text would display correctly.
The strange thing is, if you use IE, it would display the same garbage isolated Arabic letters, but the IETAB with IE7 emulation works like a charm.
With that said, recently, FF stopped displaying arabic text correctly even with IETAB2
But Google Chrome always works like a charm without the need for anything.
I have tried changing the encoding on the site but that doesn't help
Can anyone suggest anything please?
Google Chrome, Correct display of Arabic Text:

FireFox with IETAB or without, same result:
http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8855/firefoxlh.png
Anything other than UTF-8 will just display as jibberish.
But the problem with UTF-8 is that the Arabic letters are not linked one to the other, each one is seperated, makeing it very difficult to read.
What's even weirder is, I checked with Chrome, which displays Arabic Text just fine, and it is also using the UTF-8 encoding but it works!? Please help as I don't want to use Chrome :(

The point is to see if disabling that setting temporarily and selecting some other fonts makes a difference.<br />
It is possible that the Lucida Grande font that you have isn't working properly.

Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

Safari not displaying Arabic font

In Firefox I am able to change the Fonts and Colors (Preferences>Content>Fonts and Colors) so Firefox will use an Arabic font (e.g. Geeza Pro) that works on pages with mixed English and Arabic text. I can't find how to do this in Safari. Right now it's displaying a default simple font. I've tried deleting duplicate MS Office fonts but that didn't work.

Could you send me a screenshot of what you are seeing (tom at bluesky dot org) and also provide the url? Normally Safari should always use Geeza Pro. Perhaps I can identify what is interfering.

XML Publisher Arabic Report Display and missing header problem

Hi All
We are in apps. 11.5.9 with English and Arabic language support.Even though we have all our data and reports in English we are in need of an Arabic Invoice report.
Since Titles cannot be typed in oracle report builder we decided to build the report in Xml Publisher.
Every thing is done to run the report in xml publisher but we face two probles in the final xml output.
Problem1. Header and footer are not displaying in the report.
Problem2. Arabic characters are not displaying properly in the report.
Here what ever titles we gave in Arabic are displaying good.
If I save the xml file and load it in the templete and view output shows the correct arabic wordings.
But when during taking the output directly from apps. then the problem comes. The Arabic fonts are not dispaying correctly.
Any Idea about this.
If any one come across this issue please mail me at [email protected]
Habeeb

Try to load the arabic fonts into XML Publisher Admin. Check Tim's blog for more info (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/06/how_to_install_a_font_using_xm.html)

I can't use some Arabic fonts in Firefox.. How to use them?

I am trying to use special Arabic fonts in my html page that I run locally. So I created an html page that contains an Arabic font. The font was displayed as it should be in IE and Chrome, but the same font wasn't displayed in Firefox.
Can the same font be displayed it Firefox?

Additional Details:
When I go to: Tools --> Options.. --> Content --> Default Font.
Then the list doesn't contain the wanted fonts.

The song titles are displayed incorrectly, how do I fix this?

Ever since an update of itunes a couple of months ago, the titles have been displayed incorrectly in my library. I listen to a lot of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese music and after the update the information turned into squares. I went online and tried the much given solution of converting the id3 tags. This resulted in all my songs (even the english ones) turning to Chinese script when I reversed unicode, which was solved by reversing it again. However after trying all the id3 versions I am now left with a part of my songs being displayed as ?????? and with the other, largest part having the correct names but with the symbol Ƞ spread throughout the titles, which is annoying to say the least.
Other programmes on my computer display the different scripts just fine, and I have Japanese and Korean installed so as to be able to write it. The songs are also still displayed correctly if I acces them in their folders.
I am kind of losing hope after trying to find a solution on the internet for a while now, and have even re-installed itunes completely, to no avail.
If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I'd be very grateful.

Hi Treenr3,
Sounds like you have been on the right track with regard to troubleshooting this issue. It may be worth going over the font troubleshooting in the following article, just to double check (it refers to a previous version of iTunes, but the troubleshooting steps should be similar).
iTunes 9: Font text is incoherent or appears in a different language
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3042
It may also be worth trying some isolation troubleshooting in new test user account with just a couple of the tracks that are having issues to see if it persists.

Appleworks 6/Font display problem in 10.6

Has anyone else struggled with the Menu WYSIWYG Font display scrolling so painfully slowly since loading 10.6.2 ?
It races as normal in 'names', but I need WYSIWYG when selecting .... now I may never see Zingbats again.
Any suggestions ?
(I'm also placing this in the Appleworks Forum)

When AppleWorks behave slow or incorrectly there are some maintenance task to perform which usually does help.
Delete Recent items which you find in yourname > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items
Delete com.apple.appleworks.plist found in yourname >Library>Preferences
While in Preferences Find the folder AppleWorks and delete the Appleworks preferences
Empty the trash and restart AW

Foreign fonts display in character drop down menu

When designing a sign for a customer, I take a photo of the existing signs, place on a new document in illustrator cs6, type text then scroll through the text character drop down menu to match the new sign text to the font that is currently on the customers signs, business card etc.
There are many different types of fonts and I would prefer not to have the adobe system fonts, asian, arabic and other fonts that are not used for my purposes.
Is there a way to remove them from this list.
I have tried deleteing them from the window 7 font manager but they are essential system fonts and it displays a message that some programes will not work if I delete them.
I have tried show/hide in the windows 7 font manager but this has no effect on the fonts displayed in illustrator.
Any help would be appreciated.

update...
Seems windows 7 fonts can be set to show/hide for some programs but it does not work in illustrator. I have found a helpful program by Adobe Air called Font Picker which displays only the fonts installed and excludes hidden fonts (windows 7 font manager).
It would be good to have a search facility that has fonts catagorised. There are a few out there where you can tag them but I don't see myself sitting through 35000+ fonts I have collected over the years.
I did install Illustrator CC which has a few added options under the character font drop down menu. It also has a link to Typekit on Adobe Cloud but would you believe it didn't have Calligri which is a very common script font.
Has anyone on this forum found a solution to this before. There are may questions related to this on the web but no answers or feed back.
