Wrong arabic text display on Mac - not joint - (good on windows)

Hi,
exported for air 2.6 from within flash CS5.5, executed with latest AIR framework (2.7...).
As you can see in the screenshot, the same air project, run on windows or on mac, shows arabic text differently.
TextField is set to "_sans" device font text (otherwise it doesn't join even on windows).
As you can see from the screenshot, underlying is the project running on windows, and the arabic text looks good. On top, is the same air project on Mac, and the arabic text is displayed wrong (not joint, look closely you will notice differences).
Text is loaded externally from an utf8 xml file.
Any suggestion? I wouldnt like to convert hundreds of buttons and tabs into graphics... And we need multilanguage support.
thank you
Filippo
PS
Notice below (stacked on top) is mac version.

Thank you for the report. Would you mind opening a new bug for this issue on our public bug database? Please attach any sample code/project you have that would help us quickly reproduce the text issue.
Thanks,
Chris

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:

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.

Arabic texts display on Flash CS3

I've read through the forum on Adobe and other sites about
solution of Arabic texts on Flash. No doubt the Arabic texts can be
displayed perfectly in Dynamic text boxes(without embedding font),
but the problem is the policy of Dynamic text is whenever you
specify certain texts to have bold, italic or different color, but
all texts under same text box will be changed as well. It's not
freely as Static text, somemore you can't make animation like
masking, tweening using Dynamic text.
Now I am in the middle of searching high and low for solution
or extension to use Arabic texts freely on Static text without
compromising the limitation of animation.

Anyone has idea on how to overcome this problem, please
generously help me by sending your solution to my email.
[email protected] Thanks
in advance!

Mac not registering hostname on Windows DHCP server

I work for a company who is heavy Windows, but we have a few Macs for our graphics department. The problem is that a few of the Macs, though not all, don't register a host name with the Windows DHCP server. I've compared the network and share settings between those that have a host name and those that don't and I don't see any glaring differences. What would make a Mac not give its host name to the DHCP server?

WIth DHCP, there is really nothing to configure. If the Relay Agent/IP Helper is pointing to it, and the VLAN subnet exactly matches the scope subnet, then it should just work.
What I've seen in the VLAN config is either a static route back to the subnet the DHCP server itself is sitting on is not configured or incorrectly configured, or there are ports blocked (need UDP, too, since that's what DHCP uses to pass the OFFER), and
other necessary ports are opened, then it should just work.
Sometimes NIC teaming on the DHCP server will cause it. Not sure. Microsoft doesn't support teaming prior to Windwos 2012, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't work. Don't get me wrong, teaming works nicely, but they just don't support it because they never
certified the drivers, that's all.
The issues I've seen with DHCP relays and VLANs in the forums are usually based on misconfigs in the VLAN or ports blocked. Sometimes we'll refer to call Microsoft Support for specific, hands-on assistance. And searching the threads, from what
I've found that if they did call support, they've never posted back what the problem was based on or the resolution. I can post a couple of them for you to read through, but there were never any response with the actual resolution.
If you like, you also have the option to contact Microsoft Support. Here's a list of phone numbers if you choose this option:

Display tab is not visible in settings' window?

When I access the settings window of the Flash Player, the display tab is not visible??

Chris,
Thank you. Unfortunately, going to chrome://flags and disabling "GPU compositing on all pages” did not resolve my root problem which is that when I play any flash video in the full screen mode, I get a blank screen. I was trying to access the display tab in settings to disable hardware acceleration since it appears from a multitude of sites on the Web to be one way to resolve this problem?
Many thanks for your help,
Paul

Text Shortcuts on Mac not syncing with iOS Devices

It appears that my iOS devices are syncing text shortcuts, because when I add/remove one from one device, it's replicated on the other devices.
However, text shortcut changes made on my Mac ( Macbook Air, latest Mavericks version ) are not replicated to the iOS devices, and vice-versa. It's like my iPad and iPhone have decided to share with each other , and ignore my Mac.
I tried deleting the com~apple~Textinput folder, but that did not have any effect. I also tried turning iCloud off and on on my Mac, and that did not help, either.
Ideas on how to fix this?

I figured it out, I turned off Document syncing on all devices, then deleted the ~Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput folder instead of the subfolders that I deleted the first time, Then I turned document syncing back on (warning , all text shortcuts are gone! ) on my Mac, and then on my iOS devices.
It took a few minutes for my devices to catchup, but they all went to zero text shortcuts, and I was able to create a new text shortcut on each device and have it replicate to the other devices.
While this fixed my problem, it's a good idea to back up your text shortcuts to another program( evernote? ) in case you need to do what I just did to fix a syncing issue.

Problem in displaying Arabic text in flash cs3/cs4

Hi All, I'm creating one website. I have to display dynamic xmlize arabic text in flash. I have done it using flash cs3/AS3. But problem is that when text displays in flash it is not rendering as expected. Some gaps comes in the characters. But when I open my xml in browser, arabic text displays correct.
Is there any way to do it in flash cs3 or Flash cs4 using player 9? It would be really great if anyone can give me solution on this. Thanks
Chandrakant

You have to do it yourself - I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/AntiAliasType.html
In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others.

Problem with Creative Cloud and Arabic Text

We are currently testing illustrator CC and would be moving from CS5 Middle Eastern Version
We have installed CC using the lanuage setting English Arabic
And we can add text to files in arabic so all good
However if we open a file created in CS5 ME the arabic text displays as blocks. The font used is myriad pro
Is there a way to correct this ?

The best bet is to keep both and open the file in the appropriate version. With the changes in the text engine it will always be a problem.

Could you tell me why does Mac is more expensive than Windows?

I love Apple, don't get me wrong. Just, i see Mac is more expensive than Windows.

Windows is an operating system for which you pay money. Mac's operating system, Mavericks, is free.
If you are speaking of hardware, then you need to make a specific hardware comparison of apples with apples, not apples and oranges.

Arabic text not displaying correctly in Win Server 2008 R2

Hi,
We have an .mdb database stored on our Windows Server 2008 R2 server but when we view the contents some of the text has strange characters.
When we view the same db in Windows Server 2003 we do not have these characters. I'm not sure what exactly we need to do to correct this issue..
Any suggestions welcome..

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
When you open a Web page or a text file that contains a string of Arabic characters, the string is not displayed correctly. This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
The Left-to-Right Override (LRO) Unicode control character is used in the string of Arabic characters.
You specify a font that is not Simplified Arabic Fixed.
Please apply the hotfix below:
Incorrectly displayed Arabic characters in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/976525?wa=wsignin1.0
And check the result.

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.
