Question

connected arabic language in Safari

What is the simplest way to get safari to display connected arabic font?
note: unlike english, connected arabic is the only to read it, arabic is not taught/written in block letters.

Thanks,

Dump the fonts Arial and Times New Roman installed by MS office. See Browser Issues here:

The only possible cause of this problem is a Windows Arabic font on your machine. So you must still have one or your font caches think you do. Try cleaning them with FontFinagler (use Google to find that).

If you still have problems after cleaning your caches, give me the url of a site which does this for you and I can probably indicate the font which is the problem.
