Thamer,
Thanks for the information. I'll try installing the
libfribidi-dev package.

You are correct. But what we have here are two sukuuns coming
together (on the nun of muHammadun and the lam, or ra', of al-rasuuul) and
therefore they have to be separated by a kasrah.

Glad to hear it's working now. In general I think Debian handles
Arabic, and also Persian, very well.

The advantage of shift+S was that it remained S even in Arabic, so
it could be used for adding a new character to the keyboard. For example,
I use it for a dotted Kaf for old Malay (Jawi). It's nice to have at

Yes, you are right, of course. I guess I just find hitting the

I have the same problem with old Malay (Jawi). The additional Jawi letters are
not joined correctly by Mozilla, Firefox or Epiphany. Konqueror, however, joins
them perfectly as does also Internet Explorer on Windows. You can view a test

You might want to take a look at the two keyboards Sakhr used to
use for its old DOS Arabic programs (one for QWERTY and the other for
AZERTY) and also the ASMO 663 keyboard. You can find them in old Sakhr
manuals. All three keyboards put thal in a better position. I've never

The URL is http://faculty.washington.edu/heer/anonftp/atexts/.
The file of the Qur'an in utf-8 encoding is quran-utf-8.txt. The original
file is quran-8859-6.txt. In the same directory there is some other
documentation concerning the Islamic Computing Center. There is a
Qur'an you mentioned at

Meor,
I downloaded your Qur'an font and installed it on Debian Linux.
I could not get it to work in Open Office or in Katoob, but it did work in
gedit and kedit. I noticed, however, that there is not enough line
spacing for the font. The tops and bottoms of some letters get cut off.
That w
spacing. People are saying they have problem using
gedit, but firefox is OK. I don't have the recourses at the moment to
investigate why iut happens, but I suspect it has something to do with
gedit. It works ok under Windows (most application using uniscribe or
gdiplus).

I agree since CP-1256 is Microsoft's Arabic code page. However,
not all computers or programs can handle UTF-8 yet. ISO 8859-6 can be
used instead of CP-1256 although it doesn't contain the Persian characters
now included in CP-1256.

When I was living in Saudi Arabia in the late fifties Saudis reset

prayer times were. I don't know whether they still do that or not.

Arabs began to reverse the order, but perhaps it was under the influence
of ltr languages like English or French.

Yes, you are right. Squirrel mail evidently does not handle UTF8.

The problem is you have to use a browser mail program to read the
