In Internet Explorer go to tools/Internet options/Languages/ and click on Add and select from the list.

thks for your input.. However. it didn't work ( I already had Arabic in that box).
I am primarily wanting to know how do I get my PC to recognice ALL arabic letters that are read.. surely there is a setting in the OS somewhere?!? Then at least when I read my email; install a program it will pick up the fact that, that font is actually installed on the PC! Rite now I look at my contacts in MSN Messenger, a few of them are in arabic, (when I am other peoples PC's) on my PC all they read is ?????? ??? or ???? etc. |

Did you install Arabic language support in Windows?

Go to the Control Panel, and then Regional Options. You will be able to install support for other languages from there.

It looks like you have to go to "Add/Remove Programs," then "Windows Setup" to do this in Windows 98.
Please be explicit as to what OS you are using and be sure to post in the correct forum so we can better help you. |
