Fix Arabic text in Safari and Mail with Office 2004
I believe that if a version of Arial or Times New Roman already exists in ~/Library/Fonts/ the Office 2004 installer will not overwrite them. This was the case on my PowerMac, and so Arabic continued to work fine. However on my iBook and friend's PowerBook no fonts were previously installed into the home directory, and Office installed its own version of the fonts, taking precedence over those in /Library/Fonts.
I have no idea what fonts you or Arabix may have installed previously, or how the program functions that may make you an exception to the rule. The problem also does not effect ALL web pages; it seems to only be an issue on pages that specifically request these fonts in CSS/HTML. At any rate, a huge percentage of people will find Arabic non-functional after installing Office 2004.
Fix Arabic text in Safari and Mail with Office 2004
Sad and very Microsoftian that Office, which doesn't support Arabic on the Mac, breaks Arabic support in Apple apps. |
