Hi Dohan, Try copy and pasting this instead. I noticed when if you click it adds something else: http://www.ar1ar.com/program/download.php?id=273 As for my locale, I use utf-8, but the email website I use it set to something else. I have no idea why they even have different Arabic version, as they seem all the same to me when I use them, at least the ones the one from the Middle East. I just use the SA (Saudi Arabia) one, just because I don't really see any difference. I found an arabic site that mentioned a patch was needed for wine to add character reordering for Arabic using an IBM released code, and it seems to work, but the problem is, it was made for wine 9.x, and it does not work for wine 1.x I tried to look at the code, and there seems to be major differences in some cases. Is it possible to update this patch for 1.x? The patch link is here: http://code.google.com/p/raqm/source/browse/trunk/patches/wine_libicu_bidi_arabic-shaping.patch?r=20 Thanks Dotan Cohen <dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx> wrote on 2 Jan 2009, 03:05 AM: Subject: Re: wine-users Digest, Vol 41, Issue 117 >2009/1/1 Ramaddan <ramaddan@xxxxxxxxx>: >> Hi Dohan, >> >> Here is a random program to test: >> http://www.ar1ar.com/program/download.php?id=273 >> > >I cannot find the download link!
