I need your advices.( By the way, there is no problem with > utf-8 but we have to convert to iso-8859-6 ) LAM-ALEF is simply LAM (0x0644) + ALEF (0x0623||0x0627||0x0622||0x0625) The problem is that the lam-alef glyph under GNU/Linux is being inserted as a presentation form not as 2 separate characters: 0x000fef7 || 0x000fefb || 0x000fef5 || 0x000fef9 I can provide more help if you can attach some samples ? -- GPG-Key: 0xA3FD0DF7 - 9F73 032E EAC9 F7AD 951F 280E CB66 8E29 A3FD 0DF7 Debian User and Developer.
