Hi David, I have a copy of Windows that I bought a year or two ago, but never really used it, as I preferred to use Linux. Got it just in case I needed the license, I guess now I can put it to use. Me paying for the Windows copy should include the fonts, right? It's working now, and showing the fonts. Thanks a lot :-D Now all that I have left is to get the characters to attach, and I tried using the usp10.dll file from windows, but the characters are still detached. Something else I'm missing? Regards and thanks again for the help :-) >______________________________________________ >Subject: Re: BiDi Support >Date: 31 Dec 2008, 01:28 AM >From: "Dotan Cohen" <dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx> >To: wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx >______________________________________________ >>2008/12/31 vitamin <wineforum-user@xxxxxxxxxx>: >> >> Ramaddan wrote: >>> The title in the title bar comes out correctly, however, whatever >content >>> the program might have comes out blank, nothing. >> >> >> Wine's fonts don't have Arabic glyphs (character shapes).
