Hi All,

I am going to do a website for a company, and they need to have Chinese and Arabic font pages. I have never encountered this problem before. Can anyone tell me what exactly do I have to do to have these pages included in the web site?

Thanks for your help and time
 
You will need to use the lang=&quot;...&quot; attribute. In this case, the value wil be either ZH (for Chinese), or AR (for Arabic). You will also need to use either the dir=&quot;...&quot; attibute or the <BDO> element. Both of these control wether the text runs left-to-right or right-to-left.

:eek:)
 
Hi,
I have been working on a site in Arabic and this is something I have noticed:
Arabic works wonderfully in IE. In Netscape, there are unwanted spaces added, seemingly randomly. In Opera, text is written left to right!!!

If anyone has a solution for this, I'd really appreciate it.

Rick
