I was wondering if anyone has had this problem, or knows how to fix it? I have been studying Arabic over the Summer at University, and I don't know how to get it to display properly on my computer. I am running 10.4.7 and any Arabic words on a word documents come out separated. The same thing occurs on the BBC Arabic Website.
Al Jazeera however appears to be normal, but I suspect that it is just the way it is set up on the website, and not giving my computer the chance to mess it up. Thankfully I have a Mac and have never had to deal with problems of this insignificant of a nature before, usually because it always seems to work all by itself, but it leaves me in the dark when I actually do need to fix something. Any help would be appreciated. If I should make a guess OS X has implemented correct behaviour for text that follows normal Unicode standards, but Microsoft has invented something of their own or uses the standards in a an awkward way. Since Microsoft has so much market share, the non-standard usage becomes much used and that makes it difficult for others like Apple to keep up. I could be wrong and it's all Apple's fault for having a lacking implementation of the text rendering engine. You should report it to Apple, but it would be interesting but a bit time consuming to study what kind of encoding causes the problem and what kind doesn't.
First, your Mac comes with six Arabic fonts already installed, Geeza Pro (the system. This concerns the BPG Glaho Arial font, which is strictly speaking not an.

How does it work for you when you type Arabic in TextEdit? For me it works fine. If we could figure out when exactly the problem occurs, we could file a more meaningful report to Apple. I found the problem, I think. It's font related. Look at the attached image. I tried to write something in TextEdit and it looked fine, then I copied the same word from an internet page where it displayed incorrectly.
Everything I wrote after that continued to display incorrectly. At first I couldn't understand why, but then I though about checking the font, and indeed I found that if I changed to font to Geeza pro of something that displayed incorrectly in Arial, it would display correctly. Also, I just tried Firefox and it doesn't seem to suffer from the same problem. Edit: I just sent feedback to Apple about this.
If you also do it, that might increase the chances of us being heard. 2nd Edit: I found a solution for Safari over at support.apple.com. Disable Arial and Times New Roman in FontBook. Someone also wrote that Office for Mac OS X doesn't support Arabic, so you'll have to use TextEdit, Mellel, Nisus Writer Express, AbiWord, or NeoOffice/J. Pages would probably also work.
Thanks for the suggestions. I have been able to get by with the help you have provided. I can run Camino to pull up the web pages in Arabic. Unfortunately, I can't get a Word document to display correctly, even when I change the font to Geeza Pro. But I can cut and paste into Text Edit and it displays correctly in that.
I have never really used Text Edit, but I guess I'll have to get used to it. I have not become proficient enough at Arabic to worry about writing on a computer yet, but I may be in about six more weeks. Thanks for the help so far. Font-family: 'Simplified Arabic', 'Arabic Transparent', 'Traditional Arabic', 'Arial (Arabic)', 'Times New Roman (Arabic)', 'AGA Arabesque', 'NaskhTT', 'Akhbar MT', 'Courir New (Arabic)', 'Decotype Naskh', 'Mudir MT', 'Simplified Arabic fixed', 'Tahoma (Arabic)', 'Andalus', 'Monotype Koufi', 'Decotype Naskh Extension', 'Decotype Naskh Special', 'Decotype Naskh Swashed', 'Decotype Naskh Variants', 'Decotype Naskh Thuluth', 'Simplified Arabic backslanted', 'Traditional Arabic Backslanted', Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif. Click to expand.The problem comes way down at the end, where they for some inexplicable reason throw in 'Arial' and 'Helvetica' as defaults if none of the long list of specific Arabic font variants they've specified exist on the user's system. The problem is, while Camino apparently knows what do do in this situation (I'm guessing because it's based on the Gecko engine, or has its own font rendering scheme), Safari dutifully uses Arial, which has no Arabic characters in it. What the MacOS does by default in this situation is substitute individual glyphs from a font that does have them.

This would be fine in, say, Japanese, where you have one glyph per letter, and no connection between them. In Arabic, it results in non-functional word spacing, since the language appears to rely on what are in effect a bunch of ligatures to display words properly. If you remove the errant fonts from your system, Safari will properly default to a font that DOES support proper Arabic rendering, and it looks fine-you're basically forcing it to ignore the bad design of the BBC's css stylesheet. Here's an alternative workaround that SHOULD work; you can just explicitly tell Safari to use a proper font by overriding with your own personal stylesheet. This one line of css should more or less take care of it; at least, it appeared to cause the BBC page to render properly to my completely untrained eye.
