Now I wonder whether your encoding process has some sort of Bug which does not recognize certain UNICODE CODE numbers. the exact is base on ISO-8859-1 UNICODE encoding. I have tried the Arabic one as well as ISO-8859-6, but the same problem appears. I have not tried the pages in Opera and other small browser but IE give no problem indication with the text. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Used UTF-8 2.Used Arabic Unicode iso-8859-6 3. Actual Results: No difference The text is a Kurdish text based on Arabic extended letter and the page is encoded by ISO-8859-1 Unicode. I have tried UTF-8 as well, again same problem appears. I do not think I had this problem with older version of your browser, but I am not certain.
It's not clear from the description exactly what the problem is. If you mean that certain letters are not combining with the adjacent letters, such as the YEH WITH SMALL V in ئالفابێی, this is a dupe of bug 341303. It's certainly not an encoding issue, since the page uses numeric character references (e.g. ئالفابێی) which are not affected by encoding.
Thank you that is exactly what I experiencing, as it is described here http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Kurdish How come you have not found any solution for this problem even in your Beta release 2? I have tested and the problem appear in FireFox in WinXp and Linux.
