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.

    If you wanna get reqest with special characters(arabic)
    you cant use GET method ->but POST!!!!
    This is standard:
    <form action="operator.jsp" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" accept-charset="UTF-8">
    Now agent in your browser will send the same character liku you put into.This method is used when you upload files.

  • Why mac os does not recognize arabic fonts

    in mac pro using lion os does not support arabic fonts except one font and not like mac photoshop w` recognize a lot of arabic fonts
    why and how to solve

    That does not sound correct.  Lion comes with 7 Arabic fonts supported by Apple apps:  Al Bayan, Baghdad, Damascus, Deco Type Naskh, Geeza Pro, Kufi Standard, Nadeem.  Plus a few others which should also work in TextEdit.
    What apps are you trying to use?  MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic.  Instead of that you should use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice.  For Adobe apps for best results you should use the special ME Version designed for RTL scripts.

  • Acrobat XI Pro Form under Windows 7 does not display Arabic with Arabic Typesetting font

    After creating a form with right-to-left enabled, and the font of the field set to Arabic Typesetting, I can fill in the form correctly, but when I exit the field the blue editng field returns, and the text is not displayed.
    What can I do to correct this?

    Gilad:  You're right: when the fields are different, such as a checkbox and a text field, and you try to title them the same, Acrobat gives you a message. I received no messages, the field names are not the same or I missed one and Acrobat is no longer messaging about it.
    My question is different. Acrobat XI will not let me paste any field copied from a different PDF.  I've been doing that for 5 years in three different versions.  Maybe Acrobat XI has a new process for that, which I could not find in Acrobat help. Maybe it's because all forms now have extended rights automatically in Acrobat XI and there is another method to copy common fields to other PDFs.
    Any thoughts about the new Acrobat XI? It's different in many good ways, but different.
    Thanks for your ideas.

  • Safari not rendering Arabic text correctly

    I have Safari 1.0.3 running on Mac OS 10.2.8 and it will not render Arabic text correctly. Isolated letters appear at about half the correct size, which makes pages readable but only with considerable difficulty and annoyance.
    I saw some solutions here that related to removing Microsoft fonts, but I removed all fonts from Home:Library:Fonts and quite and restarted Safari, and the problem persists. I also downloaded Firefox 2.0 and the same issue occurs - with the added feature that the tab titles on Firefox also display this anomaly, whereas tab titles on Safari render Arabic correctly.
    And by the way, if this issue can be resolved, can safari and other apps be got to use a font other than the extremely ugly and hard-to-read default?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Thanks Tom. The problem though is not that letters
    that are meant to be connected are coming out
    isolated; letters that are meant to be isolated, e.g.
    initial alif, waw, ra and final letters after alif,
    waw ra, are displaying way too small.
    Sorry I misunderstood the problem.
    Do you think it is worth trying your troubleshooting
    tip no. 18? And do you have any idea what sort of
    issue could be behind it that it would affect Firefox
    too?
    Yes, you may as well try no. 18. That tip, which really has no logic to it, reflects the fact that voodoo is sometimes required to get Jaguar to display Arabic correctly in browsers. Panther was a tremendous improvement in that regard.

  • Firefox is not displaying some fonts

    Since I upgraded my mac to the new imac and to OS 10.6 I have been having problems with fonts on Firefox. Most of them do not display. In fact, I am sending this message on Safari because Firefox only showed the login, not the ask new question page. I also get messages asking me if I want certain fonts to be used by Firefox on one of my partitions in an external drive. Every thing works fine on Safari.

  • Umlauts in Safari not displayed correctly

    My motherlanguage is German, therefore most websites I visit are in German. In the recent days a problem with Safari came up:
    umlauts (ä, ö, ü, Istead there is something like ü) and
    other German-specific letters (ß) are not displayed correctliy,
    even when I try to use another encodings (like ISO Latin 2, ISO Latin 4...).
    This problem occured mainly on google.com
    So I don't know if this is sort of a mixed problem - Google-Apple
    Any suggestions?

  • Google search box in Safari not displaying matches

    Hello,
    I just did the latest Software Update on both my MacBook Pro and iMac (the update was a new iTunes--version 10.3). I'm not sure why this is happening, but when I use the Google search box (located in the upper-right corner of the Safari window), I no longer see a list of possible matches to what I'm typing. Both of my computers now do not display them, yet it has always done this in the past.
    Does anyone have a solution to this, or do you know what happened?
    Thank you very much.

    My guess is Google did something wrong, figured it out and fixed it. The suggestions feature went away in Safari for Google, but not for bing, and continued to work in Firefox. It is all fixed this morning. I happened to be using Google when it stopped functioning, it had nothing to do with updates to the Mac, since as it went south I restarted in an earlier Snow Leopard version and discovered it was not working there either. So it was a Google action that caused the mishap, nothing that Apple did. Anyway, all's well now.

  • Safari not displaying web site image

    I have a website that is suddenly not displaying the header image in Safari and IE5.2.
    I have my suspicions that it is due to a JavaScript from Google to run their Analytics programme which I installed a few days ago, (and will shortly remove it to confirm the suspicion or otherwise.)
    But first I wish to check if other people are experiencing the same problem, or if it is localized to my computer. (Need to be able to inform Google if their script is the fault and affects all Safari users or only some versions. So please check the site and report results here, including your Safari version. Mine is Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac.
    The site is http://www.paintmaking.com
    What I see in Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Camino is a flash title over a colored background with a photo.
    Thats what I saw in Safari until recently too. But suddenly all I now see in Safari and IE is the flash title over a gray background, no photo, and above the menu bar a very thin strip of color (about 1mm, 1/16in). The sidebar images are unaffected (and those images at the side work fine in all the browsers), it is just the header.
    Can you please tell me what you see and the browser version?
    Tony

    Thank you to everyone who has reported what you are seeing on my website. Now I need some help to troubleshoot the problem. So far I am confused as to where the problem lays let alone what the problem might be.
    I need guidance as I am running out of ideas for troubleshooting. Are there any files that I should try trashing?
    Could the problem lie in my Flash player perhaps (how do I test this?
    Updates:
    I can see only a gray color behind my flash title on http://www.paintmaking.com in Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (5815.1). What should be there is a colored header image.
    I have established that other people can see the image correctly, including on the same builds of Safari and IE and on the same OS (10.3.9). An exception is someone using Shiira who can only see gray in Shiira, but sees colors in other browsers including Safari.
    On my computer Netscape 7.2, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera and Camino can all see the image correctly.
    Safari and IE have the same problem displaying the image on all the accounts on my eMac.
    I have: cleared cache with no improvement, checked Safari Preferences (Java enabled, JavaScript enabled, and 'display images as pages open' is checked.
    I have removed the software that I installed recently. (MacTracker)
    I have removed a piece of JavaScript added recently (from Google to facilitate their Analytics programme)
    The only major thing I have done lately that is out of the ordinary is to Clone my OS X hard drive to an external drive using SuperDuper.
    I don't seem to be having problems with other websites.
    So how can this be? If the problem is in my computer why only the one site affected? (I checked several sites) Yet if the problem is with the site then why can other people see the site correctly?

  • Safari not displaying web pages correctly

    I dont know if its my inexperieince, something to do with settings or what but I am finding some of the web pages I am receiveing are not displaying correctly.  For example a card company sent me an online form to complete but when I tried to read it some of the information was displayed on top of more information making the whole thing garbled and indeciperable, on another website there was an area with a list of information held in a box but when I tried to read the information it would periodically jump about yet I was no where near the mouse. Both pages are fine on my husbands windows PC. There have been other incidents like this making the transition from windows to Mac very painful.  Is this something that can be remedied or are we stuck with it?

    When I experience the problem, I sometimes have to zoom in or out, to get the text to be readable.

    I added the font I want to use to my font list but it still

    Is your text in a dynamic text box, or static text box in
    flash?
    I don't think the issue concerns the "true-type" or not
    "true-type" font.
    In Flash, when text is part of a dynamic text box (which I
    assume is the case in your situation),
    then the font works just like in an html page:
    if the font is installed on the computer it will show, if
    not, it won't. The way around this, is to
    embed the font data in the authoring flash file, and link it
    to the dynamic text box, via actionScript.
    So if you cannot work on the authoring Flash file with Flash
    MX or Flash8, and if indeed we're
    talking about a dynamic text box, your only option is to use
    a web-safe font.

  • Jerky scrolling and Safari not displaying most jpegs in one user a/c

    Hi
    I upgraded my 15" mid 2010 MBP to Mountain Lion and find that it is behaving oddly. I have two different user accounts and the oddities vary between accounts. In one, most jpegs in Safari are not displayed, substituted with black rectangles with patterns of coloured dots (in the other, there is no problem with rendering pictures). The scrolling of pages is extremely jerky in Safari and far from perfect elsewhere (slightly jerky in Preview eg). Even the dock magnification is jerky, with icons breaking up as you pass over them.
    In both accounts the scroll bar in Safari flickers on and off irrespective of whether the setting in General prefs is for the scroll bar to display permanently or not. The less troubled user account is noticeably snappier in action (eg opens the About this Mac screen with no delay compared with a second or so in the other account).
    I've tried ditching the caches for Sarari with no effect. I rebuilt permissions after the install. I'm at a loss to know what to do next as it feels like a generic video problem but, bizarrely is more or less confined to one account.
    Any clues?

    bizarrely is more or less confined to one account.

  • Safari not displaying site content if sidebar hidden. Does display if sidebar unhidden

    All of a sudden, Safari will not display content past the header on a site that I visit routinely. Chrome and Firefox will display the site fully.
    I had installed the two plugins that suppress the autostart of media on Safari and the comparable plugins on Chrome and Firefox.
    When I check the source on Safari when at this site, I can see all the html is there for a full display.
    I removed both plugins from Safari, but still can't view the content past the header.
    I just now discovered that if I unhide the Safari sidebar, I can see the full site page displayed. When I hide it, it disappears.
    I am using Safari 8.0.
    I am using OS X 10.10

    1. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    2. Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Test.

  • Safari not displaying Facebook properly

    Since yesterday, Safari stopped displaying Facebook properly. I get a white page with no formatting, just a column of links. That is the only site I have problems with. All others seem to work fine and Facebook displays properly if I'm using Firefox. ???

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
