Hi,
I have made a report in Arabic text. But when I registered it with the Application (EBS R12.1.1) it show the Arabic text in boxes, arrows etc.

Arabic fonts not working in Illustrator CS4 on MacBook Pro
I have a bunch of Arabic fonts installed on my computer but can't use them on Illustrator.
For some reason, they are on my dropdown Font list but Illustrator is not letting me use them.
Arabic letters are meant to be connected to one another to form words and the fonts are not being applied correctly. The letters come out separated instead of connected.
Do I need to download something to be able to use them?
Thanks!To be more precise what is required is the Illustrator ME or on of the Suites also the ME version, which is the Middle East version. Adobe designates the version using the intials ME.
That will work with both Arabic and Hebrew.
Otherwise you have to one type backwards and use tracking of a negative amount sufficient to have the letters touch and make a character style and apply it to all text you want arabic.
Best to have the ME version. -
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. -
TLF in Flash CS4 showing ??? with Arabic fonts
I got TLF to function on my work computer (XP-32) with no trouble.
However, at home (XP-64), when I type in the TLF box in CS4, I only get ????? showing.If I copy and paste Arabic from Notepad into the text box, the arabic text shows up with no problem. I've tried using Adobe Arabic, Transparent Arabic, and Standard Arabic font with the same results.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but when I first installed the TLF component, it set it up in my Flash CS3 extension manager. After deleting it from there, I installed it again to the CS4 extension manager.
Has anyone else had this situation? I can't figure out why my work computer and home computer are behaving differently.
Thanks for any help.Hi azeem
I have been learning how to deal with arabic fonts now in flash10 and from what i have read up so far adobe has stopped updating the TLF component and it is been said it will only reappear with flash11 again. So if there is a bug with 64 bit os , then it is stuck like that for now. Another point to mention while using the forums and from personal testing is that the adobe arabic font will not handle diacritics correctly. You should try use Arial version 4 (the arial that ships with vista , the arial that shipped with xp is also faulty).

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س
MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. You have to use other apps. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word. -
Problem with Arabic font: In certain contexts, when writing Arabic with vowel signs (fatha, damma, kasra, sukun) a sequence of sukun + fatha/damma etc. would reverse automatically. Is this a known bug?
Example: عَيْنٌ
would automatically convert to عَيُنْ
Funnily, it doesn't seem to happen here, but it does when entering text in a web interface (using Firefox, font Bayan) and when using Text Edit.
Seems to be a problem of a specific font, as e.g. Arial MS Unicode works fine. Any hints?
Thank you!Musaafir wrote:
I've no idea how i can even start using arabic vowels on Microsoft Word for Apple
You can't do Arabic on MS Word for Mac. This app has never supported RTL scripts, so you need to use something else. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
You switch between languages by using the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen or by using the keyboard shortcuts apple/command plus space. Go to system prefs/keyboard/shortcuts to make sure that is activated.
To see which key does what, you use Keyboard Viewer.

You place vowels on letters by typing the key for the vowel after the key for the letter. The vowels are on the option/alt keys, option/alt + a gives you َ -
Arabic font problem in Indesign cs4
I was using Indesign CS2 and just upgraded to CS4. I was heavily using "traditional arabic" font in CS2 without any problem.
For those who don't know, in arabic, each letter is represented differently according to its place inside a word. Almost all letters have 4 different forms, at the begining, in the middle at the end and alone.
After the upgrade I can insert only the letter at the begining form. I can clearly see all fonts in all forms in glpyhs table.
Any suggestion ?
Thank youThis not a locked Windows font because I was using it in Indesign CS2 without any problem.
In Help>About section all I see, is CS4 6.0. So this in not a Middle Eastern version.
For the moment I found the following solution :
I found an Open Type Arabic Font.
When I type something with this font "propositional forms" setting is set to "General", this is the default setting and I was unable to set "Automatic" as default. First I type something in Arabic then I select the text and set "propositional forms" setting to "Automatic".Yes it is a little bit cumbersome but this is the only solution I found.
I could send font files to anybody if you want to try them . It is not allowed to send them as attachment -

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.

Hello,
I've been told by my client that my arab text is not
rendering correctly. The problem occurs where an incorrect 'alef'
appears next to a 'lam'. Now I'm not an arab speaker or reader
unfortunately, so I really don't understand exactly what this
means, but its incorrect. I've had a good look at my character
settings, and I'm not seeing any extra properties that I can set to
correct this. An extract of my code is below that relates to
character format.
charFormat.color = fontColorIs;
charFormat.fontFamily = fontIs;
charFormat.fontSize = fontSizeIs;
charFormat.locale = "ar";
charFormat.ligatureLevel = LigatureLevel.EXOTIC;
charFormat.lineHeight = "160%";
charFormat.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
charFormat.kerning = Kerning.ON;
paraFormat.textAlign = TextAlign.RIGHT;
paraFormat.direction = "rtl";
I've also put a some screen shots of the problem and the font
online at
http://www.kenmacleod.com.au/adobe
- these 2 images were from the client and explain the issue.
Adobe Arabic is working and rendering correctly, so I'm
presuming that it is a font issue, and the font I'm trying to make
work, just can't work with Flash even though its an OTF.
I am wondering if maybe I've missed something. It doesn't
appear to be a embedding issue either as I'm embedding the entire
font via Gumbo.
If anyone has had luck with other Arabic fonts rendering
correctly please let me know what they are.
Thanks, Ken.Just as a follow up to this problem if anyone else is
experiencing something similar. We ended up contacting the actual
developers of the Arabic font (
http://www.grapheast.com).
They described it as a Unicode issue and said they would have to
update their font, which they promptly did in about an hour and
fortunately for us, it worked straight up.

We had some unexpected issues with the Chinese version of the
site too, I didn't do any research on font file sizes, but with the
chinese language having so many characters, the font files seemed
to vary from about 7MB to 15MB. Once squashed into a swf via Gumbo,
the smallest versions were around the 4MB mark, but these were
dropping characters all over the place. The 15MB looked great, but
only came down to about 10MB, which is obviously way to big to
embed. We tried just using 'sans' but some system fonts were
dropping characters also, especially when we needed chinese
characters next to punctuation. The result ended up being using a
program called Fondu and extracting the mac system font Hei.dfont.
The font size of the Gumbo swf ended up as 3MB and it worked
perfectly. Details of the how to with Fondu are

I have some arabic font that works with Photoshop v.7.0 ME but I can not use them in latest version Photoshop CC. They are TrueType fonts.
Is there any solution to make them work?
I heard someone said convert them to OpenType and they should work and I did but nothing changed.
Really appreciate your help.It may be a corrupt font. Our IT group is looking into it. When I change the font to Arial, it pdfs fine.
I tried typing the font directly into InDesign (even though Arabic text does not render correctly unless you're using InDesign ME) and then pdf'ing it. I got the same kind of error message about licensing:
"This font could not be embedded due to licensing restrictions in the font..."
InDesign ended up replacing the font with another one that looks similar. If our IT group fixes this, I'll post the solution. Until then, I'd appreciate all the suggestions/ideas you (and others) have. Thanks.
