Safari not reading Arabic website correctly

Dear Experts,
Is there a way to add fonts to Safari? Cause when i open some arabic websites i am not able to see the website font displayed correctly. I am using ITouch with the latest update. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
Regards.

Unfortunately, character encoding errors are a significant problem in both Safari and Mail. Apple needs to add a function for users to be able to specify the encoding for a web page or mail message. When Safari or Mail guesses wrong, there is no way for the user to manually select the correct character encoding.

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.

Safari not reading CSS scripts correctly?

I have in my .css file a command as thus:
menu {
font-family: "Monotype Corsiva";
This under all circumstances works, Monotype Corsiva is in OS X, and Windows OS's... but for some reason Safari won't view the font... why?
This has to be a Safari bug, for I can get some other cursive fonts working...if it isn't how do I get the fonts working in Safari?

It also doesn't answer my question.
I doubt you will find one here. You might go to
http://webkit.org/
and try the latest nightly build and see if it works better.

Why is Safari not displaying some pages correctly?

Safari seems to be messing up again. Had this problem quite a while ago. It's not displaying some pages correctly.
Notice the 2 enclosed screen shots. I went to purchase something (no personal info in the jpgs)
Notice the W-Safari. Little trash cans by the purchase items missing as well as the submit button and a few other things. So I opened Chrome.
Notice in the W-Chrome, everything is displaying correctly.
I've had problems like this some time ago but I thought they were fixed.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Post a URL so what we can look at it.

ITunes not reading ID3 tags correctly

I have an album of mp3s, all correctly ID3 tagged (WinAMP and Windows Media Player read them fine), and when I try to add it into my iTunes library, it only add it as the filename. It does not read the artist, album, or track name from the tag.
It is strange that it is able to read some of the id3 tags but not all.
iTunes 6.0.4 Windows XP Pro

Something else on your system is probably changing the tag outside of itunes. For instance, WMP is set to get album info from the internet.
iTunes isn't constantly scanning your library for any little tag change (a good thing, otherwise it would use 100% CPU all the time). When you go to play it or get Info, it DOES read the tag info.
Then again, I might not understand your itunes preferences settings. I have mine set for itunes not to organize my files and not add them to the itunes library.

Apple DVD Player software not reading SPRM 4 correctly.

I am a DVD author and have recently run into an issue with Apple DVD Player not reading SPRM 4 (current title) correctly. I know this isn't the Apple DVD Player forum, but there doesn't seem to be one for that application, so here I am...
I have a disc (not authored in a Mac environment) that uses the value of SPRM 4 to track the last title played, and if it happens to equal the value of the main feature title, then use the "PLAY" button on the main menu as a resume.
Apple DVD Player seems to think that SPRM 4 equals this particular value all the time, regardless of what title last played, which is totally breaking my disc. The real kicker is that the disc works flawlessly on set-tops and in a windows environment.. just not on any Mac that I have tried.
Has anyone out there also experienced a problem with tracking SPRM 4 in Apple DVD Player? Is anyone from Apple reading these things, possibly someone who can flag this as a major issue?
I am positive that this specific to Apple DVD Player, because the disc works as intended EVERYWHERE else.
I have tried and experienced this issue across several Macs, and across several versions of DVD Player. It's consistent across all.
If anyone has any ideas, please respond.
Thanks,
Ben

Firefox is not rendering/displaying websites correctly.

Started today, never had problems with any site I visited until now. Every webpage I vist will not load/render/display correctly. I have not done anything to firefox in ages and have had no problem like this before.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Aperture Vault Does Not Read Drive Space Correctly

Aperture 3 Vault does not read the disk space correctly on my newly formatted LaCie 500GB drive, and produces an error message that says there is not enough space to update the vault.
Finder and Disk Utility both indicate that the drive is completely empty. Any help in resolving this problem will be appreciated.

Just some thoughts
1. Check ownership on the drive, everyone can read and write. (& it is MacOS formatted)
2. Check the permissions in your library, it is possible that there is a file with a permissions conflict (only attributable to the fact that computers are programmed by human)

Safari not reading Cyrillic as well as it used to

Recently, none of the Text Encoding options for Cyrillic have been able to read several websites I've visited. Instead, all I get is a row of squares in place of letters in Russian. Does anyone know why this might be and/or how I can fix it? Thanks in advance!

Here are two examples of the problem I'm having:
http://www.rvb.ru/ (all squares under the heading "Публикации" [Publikatsii])
http://rulex.ru/01021318.htm (scroll down the page - it's all squares for me after Биография, Россия, История, and Знаете ли вы?)
Thanks in advance!

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.
The following is in the Safari > View menu --

Safari not rendering a page correctly

A webpage I created in Dreamweaver uses drop down menus that are supposed to display just to the left of the link they drop from. In all other browsers they work correctly, but since the latest upgrade in Safari to 3.0.4 as a part of OS 10.4.11 on my Macbook, they are not rendering correctly. Instead they are appearing much further to the left where it's difficult to move the cursor to them before they disappear. Until I changed the color of the drop downs they were disappearing into the background. Any ideas why Safari is not rendering them correctly? I'd like to keep Safari as my primary browser, but if it won't render my own page correctly, what other pages might it be messing up? Address of the page is http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/woottonhs/ The drop downs are connected to the central column list that has small arrows beside the words. They will probably work correctly for you, but won't for me in Safari. What can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
KWolfrey

Hi,
I'm running 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4 and as far as I can see the menus seem to work just fine here.
Do you have a custom stylesheet set in Safaris advanced preferences? (Some Safari enhancer applications set one even if you didn't manually set one so double check to make sure.)
Also, do you use PithHelmet?
One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)
Lastly, I doubt these [errors|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.montgomeryschoolsmd. org%2Fschools%2Fwoottonhs%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&g roup=0] have anything to do with your problem since it seems to work fine for me, but you might want to look into them at some point.

Safari not loading html formatting correctly

I have updated the a website that has or tags and the text does not appear as bold in Safari 4.0.3. Shows properly in Firefox and Navigator.
Does anyone know why this might be?
Thanks for any help.
Rich

Sorry. My message is unclear because the sample html tags I entered in my message don't show when the page loads.
I used the tags for "bold" and"strong" in a website but the text is not bold when Safari loads the html. Works properly with Firefox and Navigator.
Anyone know why this is the case? Or, if you want to try to load it, the page is http://www.fmlp.org.

Safari not loading certain pages correctly

I have a black macbook (2008) and when I am running Safari it will load a webpage and when it finishes loading it will grey out the website, and jump down to the end of the webpage. I can still see the website but I cannot click any of the links. I can scroll up and down still but it is greyed or blacked out. I load up the same website in firefox and it is fine. This problem never happens in firefox and it does not happen on every webpage in Safari, but it does it on the same websites consistently.
This has starting in the last few months and I cannot say for sure if it started before or after we moved and changed internet providers.
Thank you in advance for any helpful answers.
The first one is Safari and the second one is Firefox

This sounds like the same problem as:
Version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1) grey page https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5123846
Try some ot the things suggested there; it was due to an extension.
