I have ubuntu 5.10 and I have else "dapper flight cd 5", and if you want try to select Arabic on live cd to see what I mean.
A. 1-even if you don’t know what you see on menu login text you will know it broken 2-then compare this with what you can see after you install mscorefonts B. Try to: 1- Visit Arabic web site like www.nayif.net -myblog- 2- Print it Then compare this with what you can see after you install mscorefonts C. Do the test again - with out mscorefonts- 1-open Arabic on openoffice "google can help you to find one" 2-print it Then compare this with what you can see after you install mscorefonts Why all this A, B and C, first know "what, where, when" the problem, to know how to fix it.
