<div dir="ltr">> Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:30:44 -0500<br>> From: <a href="mailto:jeremy.schneider@ardentperf.com">jeremy.schneider@ardentperf.com</a><br>> To: <a href="mailto:users@lists.claws-mail.org">users@lists.claws-mail.org</a><br>> Subject: Re: [Users] Support for Arabic on Windows<br><br>> FYI, I am on Windows 7 professional with Claws 3.10.1 and I am able to<br>> paste Arabic characters into messages and send/receive those messages.<br>> I just sent a test message from claws to my gmail account and was able<br>> to read the Arabic characters in gmail.<br>> <br>> I know this is obvious, but worth quickly asking - did you check the<br>> far right-hand side of the window? (Entering from LTR character sets<br>> will sometimes switch the current line to be right-justified instead<br>> of left-justified.)<br><br>Yes,
I have checked at both sides of the screen :) <br>I posted a big chunk of
text, and the only characters properly displayed are numbers. What I
get, instead of Arabic characters, are little 'boxes' containing small
numbers, one 'box' for each character. <br>By the way, the indentation is correct (RTL), so Arabic is detected as such, but no Arabic letters.<br><br>It's
obvious that there is a problem with the unicode rendering. What is
strange is that on the same system I run another Gtk-based software
(Cherrytree) and Arabic is rendered perfectly.<br><br>Could it be that in the Windows port there is something missing? Or perhaps some parameters are set in the wrong manner?<br><br></div>
