#6352: webpositive does not render arabic fonts. ----------------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: khallebal | Owner: stippi Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/WebPositive | Version: R1/alpha2 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ----------------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by khallebal): Replying to [comment:4 stimut]: > Replying to [comment:3 stimut]: > > Is this still a problem? #6171 describes a similar problem but with cjk fonts which has already been fixed (except potentionally for some font fallback issues). > > Sorry, I should be more specific. Does this problem still occur with the proper fonts installed? > > The aljazeera page still loads without text for me, but I don't know what a suitable font would be to test it with. it's possibly a webkit issue,as i read on the net that all the webkit based browsers, from safari to chrome had sufferd from this problem in the past and got fixed by their respective devs. and it's not a font issue either,because,a)i'm using the default ones that work in Tracker and i also tested with some specific arabic fonts the problem remained unchanged,b)the font fallback problem affects arabic & hebrew chars see ticket #6967, where as web+ displays hebrew sites correctly. so hopefully this info gives you some directions as to where to look. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6352#comment:6> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
