I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard and am experiencing problems with the proper display of voweled Arabic text.  Please see here to see the problem:  http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/4819/screenshot20090901at501.png

A sample web page with voweled Arabic text:  http://www.al-eman.com/hadeeth/viewchp.asp?BID=13&CID=4#s2

Safari does not experience the problem.  Text appears normally if copied and pasted into a word processor.

Reproducible: Always
