Identify device fonts compatible with Arabic text

Hi,
Is there anyway to workout what device fonts are available that can render arabic text? I was hoping there would be something like similar to when you specify a font family list and default to _sans but I can't find anything? Does anybody have any solution or alternative method to solve this?
Cheers

There's no programmatic way to do this in ActionScript, and its a bit tricky -- you need to find out which fonts have the correct glyphs and OpenType tables. But, I will say that in the new 10.1 Player (available as public beta), it is much better about fallback, so that if the font you specify doesn't have the correct glyphs, it will look for another font that does and use that instead. So if you were putting up a font menu, it would include all the fonts, but if the user picks one that doesn't work for that script, the text will still appear correctly, just in a different font. I think its a good question though. It would be nice if you could specify a locale, and get back a list of fonts.

HT4597 Only one of my devices is compatible with iCloud. If I update that device (my iMac) will I still be able to get just emails on my old iPhone classic (as I can now)?

Only one of my devices is compatible with iCloud. If I update that device (my iMac which is OS 10.7.4) will I still be able to get just emails on my old iPhone classic? At the moment I have just updated to icloud 'emails only'!

Oh, ok. When I moved over I clicked the 'not all my devices are compatible' button and was told that I would continue to get my emails only. Perhaps I'l now be brave and click the “Complete Your Move to iCloud” alert - and see what happens. Many thanks for your help

Trouble exporting pdf with Arabic text to .doc file

I am having an issue exporting a pdf from the trial of Acrobat Pro XI on a Windows 7 computer.
The pdf has a table with English fields in the left column and Arabic equivalents in the right column.
It appears to display fine within Acrobat, so I assume it has fonts embedded and that Acrobat is somehow handling the display of the Arabic font correctly.
I need to export this to .doc or .docx so that I can enter additional data.
When I convert to .doc, the English column and fields convert pretty good, but the Arabic fields do not display well at all. I am not sure if this is some sort of trouble with Word (or the Windows OS) requiring an Arabic font or Arabic text support to be installed on the system or if there is some other issue (such as Acrobat not handling the conversion well)??.
I did note that there is an Arabic Font add on to Acrobat that can be downloaded from Here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4885&fileID=4558
However, since Acrobat is seeming to properly display the Arabic text, I don't know that this is required...additionally when I tried to install the Arabic font support from that URL, it told me that Acrobat X was require, I am using Acrobat XI reader (installed with the trial version of Acrobat pro that I wish to purchase if I can get this working properly).
Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice offered on this subject.

Unfortunately our conversion engine cannot convert text, such as Arabic, which reads from right to left. It maybe something that we add in the future however it is not available at this time.

I have a problem with arabic text in facbook im using firfox v5

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/856583]]</blockquote>
I'm using Firefox web browser v5 and i can wright and reed Arabic text at all web sights. but when I'm trying to read or right Arabic text in Facebook i have a probable that every letter is separated and when i open Facebook with other browsers like chrome using same desktop the Arabic text appear without any problems.

I am doing a newsletter which I have an arabic translation of in a word document. When I copy and paste into Illustrator it changes the font (it says times new roman in the word doc, but the illustrator version comes out times new roman but looks completely different ) and the right to left orientation to left to right. How do I fix this?
Make sure your document language is properly set to Arabic in Word. Just typing Arabic and the document actuall being Arabic are two different things. Mismatches affect Unicode ranges, resulting in the wrong characters being copied to the clipboard. In AI, check the substitution options on the text palette and glyph palette as well as your global glyph protection pref.

Device not compatible with iPhone

My new car (2010 Nissan Versa) has an auxilliary input port that allows me to play mp3 music through the radio. It worked great with my old iPod, but when I try to connect my brand new iPhone 3gs, I get an error message stating that the device (the car radio) is not compatible with the iPhone.
I like the iPhone, but really want to listen to my mp3 music and podcasts through the car radio. Is there some way to resolve this issue?

I have 08 altima with 3gs and updated OS4.0. emailed Nissan and told me my phone was not compatible. I cannot use the factory oem bluetooth since the update. Funny thing is it was compatible with the 3.1 OS and says so in writing in Nissan book. Apple told me it was a Bose firmware issue. I want to revert back to old OS.

Problem with Arabic text with flash player 10 32bit under linux platforms

Arabic encoding characters do not show correct in the right form at all linux distributions .
note: with windows platforms, it shows arabic characters correctly.
this video contains captions and subtitles, in the attachement two snapshots,
First, show the arabic sentences in the right form with "swfdec mozilla" plugins.
The other, show the arabic words with "adobe flash player 32bit" plugins,
for example: Arabic font enconding cp-1256
the character ب
in the beginning of the word " بـ ".
in the middle " ـبـ "
at the end "ـب"
isolated character "not in word "ب"
the word
كتب in the right form
begin from right with " كـ "
with adobe flash player
ب ت ك
it shows from left to right and use only isolated characters.
I report to adobe and they response
Hi Ghost,
Since you do not have a 64 bit machine please proceed to reinstall the
32 bit edition.
For the current release version of Flash player 10, it does support
Right to left, But you can’t use a text field on stage and have it
work. When authoring the content in Flash cs4, you would have to use
the Flash text engine. more information on that can be found here:

I too am having this problem. On all of my linux distributions, including Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, knoppix 5,1, fedora 8,9,10 flashplayer 10 is broken in the same way. It reports that it cannot find webcam, and the settings dialog refuses to recognize mouse clicks. I've poked around the web quite a bit and have not yet found a solution. I saw the problem mentioned on an adobe bug reporting site and their response was to close the issue saying it wasn't repeatable on their system. I tried to re-open it and my post was deleted without comment (I may have posted incorrectly or something)
Looking here and elsewhere I see that the problem is very common and I don't see any posted bug-fixes, or even acknowledgement that a bug exists. Has adobe lost interest in being cross-platform compatible?

Probelms with ARAB text in INDESIGN

hi, i'm using indesign to create a document that contains both ARAB words and english words. I've copied the texts form a word file and paste in INDESIGN.
but the program does not maintain the right sequence of the ENGLISH word and does not allow me to move them in the right position. I have also the sdame problem with the dot at the end of the sentence. while I want the dot on the left at the end of the sentence the program put it on the right and there is no way to move in the right position
someone knows what can I do? I'm using CS6
thanks
roberto

I think you have to use Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern CS6.
Take a look here:
