if that didn't work and your using KMplayer:right click on main screen of kmplayer and go to:Option>preferences>in the left menu of the window select "subtitle processing"and in sub menus opened hit "font style"in the right side find the "charset" and change the box beside it to "Arabic"
Yes Alfred but the issue seems to be with certain fonts and in particular the letter R which I have circled in the screenshot. Microsoft Publisher or indeed Parsinegar has no issues with any Farsi/Arabic font which makes it very odd. I understand that Affinity Text Engine does not support this - however it makes it very hard to use any fonts as it becomes a gamble and I have had to play all sorts of tricks to finish my projects.
It is important that you select for your document fonts that contain the Arabic script. Otherwise you will get error messages when viewing your file as PDF. If you use in the document settings the option use non-TeX fonts, you can use any OpenType or TrueType font. Here is a list of known OpenType an TrueType fonts containing the Arabic script. Note: not all of them will also fully support Urdu, so you will have to try.
The problem is that I'm using a custom Farsi font in my website named as BMitra (it is absolutely free in public domain) and all major browsers (latest FF and IE6+) are rendering this font just fine but my Chrome skips this font and switches to system's default tahoma.
It's not a bug. Your font is not standard and also it's not working correctly in Firefox 11 as well (it shows the characters separated from each other which is the sign of the bad font).You can find the new series of Persian fonts for web here. These fonts have no issue with the new versions of the browsers:
Some Persian fonts which were alright in version 5.0.1 are now departed (unconnected) in version 6.0 final. For Example: at the tabs in the upper side of the web page. That specific font looks faulty. I checked some other web pages, too. The same problem.
I think this problem due to lack of support for the Persian web fonts instead of all the Persian fontsOther examples:1pezeshk (In Navbar and Post title)Weblogina (In Navbar and Post title)
I checked a lot of Persian web pages. All of the texts appear to be fine. However that specific font has the issue. Also in Mihan Download we can see the problem with that font in titles of the columns and the main topics. I think that the support of that font is overlooked in the new version. (Wondering how that is possible...!).
Note:I guess this is no ordinary problem to be solved with common ways. The guess is that the support for this font has been overlooked in the new version or something must be bugging it since everything was fine in 5.0.1 and previous versions down to 3.6.10.
In fact Firefox 6 and 7 beta have problem with fonts embed in CSS for Farsi / Persian or other RTL languages like Arabic, Urdu etc. For example you visit this website ( ) which is using same embed fonts technique for all pages. Even worse situation when departed letters effects and change the layout.
The problem seems to be with all fonts. www.CONCHerald.com is one of my sites and it has a hand written font called Hand of Sean used all over the site and it is now gone in FF 6.0. I knew I should have not upgraded to 6.0. The browser is awesome because of the plugins for developers but it sucks otherwise especially because of the memory it leaks.
As I said in the earlier post, no such a problem was reported on IE and Opera. Both displaying the font correctly.Also on Chrome, it seems that there is no support for that font (or codes related to specific embed fonts) however there is an optimization in Chrome that fixes this; All the fonts appear in Arial in such cases. So we don't see that specific font but the text is readable. (I don't know about the exact mechanism of rendering pages in Chrome, that is how I think the process is.)
So with this last piece of evidence (?!), we may conclude that the problem is related to Firefox itself.The number of people having this problem is increasing. And also the web pages using that font is not few. Why no one of the people in charge answer to this demand of ours. As we know, there are lots of people suffering from this problem but don't know how to report it so they switch to other browsers. I like the Firefox the most. That's why I care so much about this.
I have the same problem, but the problem seems to be the fonts. they are not standard. I tested a standard embedded Persian font and everything turned out fine. check your pages with this font for example and see if it works for you too :IrSansBI think something changed in the way firefox handles font rendering that is more strict.
Writing documents that use both English and other languages can certainly be tricky. How are you supposed to know what font to use for what language? Have you ever inserted a translation into your document and instead of appearing as text, you have a string of blank boxes or random English characters scattered throughout the foreign text?
Luckily computer programmers have come up with one solution: Unicode. This font programming system assigns a unique code to every symbol from every language, so that way the symbols are recognized when the text switches to different platforms.
Angsana New font is easy to read for beginners, and Browalia New is a classic Thai font. Noto is an online font compatible with Thai. For a Thai transliteration keyboard on Chrome and Google Drive/Gmail, click here.
Thanks for your clarifying question. My goal is to add text in Farsi (Persian) to a project. I can't find any way to type a text in Farsi in Inkscape. It would seem natural for the above mentioned dialog to allow you to choose other languages, not just fonts, but this is not available. Is there another way to add a language to Inkscape? It seems strange that I can change the interface language to Farsi, and can change my computer language to Farsi, but it still will not type in Farsi when I click text. Any help is much appreciated!
To get the cloud fonts, your device needs to be online and connected to the Internet. In apps running on Windows, go to File > Account, select Manage Settings under Account Privacy, and turn on Optional connected experiences. Clearing the check box turns off cloud fonts and other online services from Microsoft.
Additional fonts, including a variety of popular open-source fonts, user interface and seldom used fonts are provided for document compatibility purposes. These are only listed in font menus if you view or edit content that uses them.

Fonts that have been traditionally used (for example, AXT fonts) can continue to be used in this release of the software. However, it is recommended that newer Open Type fonts be used for text-based elements.
Missing glyph protection is enabled by default in Illustrator. The text is handled automatically, where glyphs are not available in the font you are using. To disable this functionality, choose Preferences > Type and deselect the Enable Missing Glyph Protection option.
When you install a Middle Eastern or North African version, the default typing font is set to the installation-specific language, by default. For example, if you have installed the English/Arabic-enabled version, the default typing font is set to Adobe Arabic. Similarly, if you have installed the English/Hebrew-enabled version, the default typing font is set to Adobe Hebrew.
In the Arabic script, a diacritic or a diacritical mark is a glyph used to indicate the consonant length or short vowels. A diacritical mark is placed above or below the script. For better styling of text or improved readability of certain fonts, you can control the vertical or horizontal position of diacritical marks.
From Wikipedia:Computer font: "A computer font is implemented as a digital data file containing a set of graphically related glyphs. A computer font is designed and created using a font editor. A computer font specifically designed for the computer screen, and not for printing, is a screen font."
The typesetting application TeX and its companion font software, Metafont, traditionally renders characters using its own methods. Some file extensions used for fonts from these two programs are *pk, *gf, mf and vf. Modern versions can also use TrueType and OpenType fonts.
You should give pacman the ability to manage your fonts, which is done by creating an Arch package. These can also be shared with the community in the AUR. The packages to install fonts are particularly similar; see Font packaging guidelines.
The creation of a subdirectory structure is up to the user, and varies among Linux distributions. For clarity, it is good to keep each font in its own directory. Fontconfig will search its default paths recursively, ensuring nested files get picked up.
For the Xserver to load fonts directly (as opposed to the use of a font server), the directory for your newly added font must be added with a FontPath entry. This entry is located in the Files section of your Xorg configuration file (e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/xorg.conf). See #Older applications for more detail.
If you are seeing errors similar to this and/or seeing blocks instead of characters in your application then you need to add fonts and update the font cache. This example uses the ttf-liberation fonts to illustrate the solution (after successful installation of the package) and runs as root to enable them system-wide.
