see this image and you will know my problem
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
By The way i forgot

Usually that kind of thing indicates a problem with font caches, so you may want to try a cache cleaning app like Onyx. But first you should ask in the forums run by the people who make those apps, since their problems may have nothing to do with Apple.
Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.
sorry your solution not worked 😟
also this one 😟
i forgot to tell you what made my mac do this
i installed adobe photoshop cs6 ls6 which have a problem with typing and it hangs if i tried to use teh typing tool
so i tried to do this solution
it fixed the photoshop problem but it made a new problem for me
hope that can help 😟
According to your link, the problem is caused by the "Middle Eastern Type Engine." Have you disabled it?
may be, i do not have any experience with mac
how can i fix it if what you are saying is what happened ?!!!
I can't help you with Photoshop, because I don't use it. I suggest you contact Adobe or go to its user forums.
no no it is not adobe problem
i think the command i used in terminal deleted some main files
may be font cache !! may be font DB !! May Be Deleted Main Font In Mac That Supports Arabic Perfectly In All Apps
it is something in the system it self not in photoshop
i think the command i used in terminal deleted some main files
What command?
this
sudo atsutil databases –remove
sudo rm -r ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/TypeSupport
sudo rm -r /Library/Fonts/
The last one deleted some system fonts. Either restore them from a backup or reinstall OS X.
is there is any way that i can install deleted files only ? like in windows ?
Regards
and thanks for help

No, that font is Geeza Pro and I am sure you still have it, because otherwise you would most likely not be able to see Arabic webpages, etc.
Have you tried totally deleting the non-apple apps where you having this problem and then reinstalling them? Have you tried setting up a new user account and seeing if you have the same problem when logged into that?
Have you tried the forums dedicated to Yahoo Messenger and Skype? That is really the place to get help for problem with this stuff.
that mean i have to remove most of the apps i installed and reinstall them
i do not think this is will be a good solution for my problem
i think i deleted main system file with commands i wrote in terminal
i think any expert in macintosh will be able to know the problem ...
thanks for your help 🙂
