Hi!<br />
<br />
My site is written normally in English or French but sometimes there can be Arabic text. Some people do not see the Arab characters but rather strange characters not having any sense. What do you think that I must make?<br />
<br />
Thank you!<!--content-->You'll have to specify a font that contains arabic characters in the font family for the paragraphs that contain those arabic characters.<br />
<br />
In old-school HTML:<br />
<font family="Arial, Helvetica, Arabic_Font, Sans-serif"> // AVOID THE FONT TAG WHENEVER POSSIBLE!. It's a dinosaur. Use CSS:<br />
<br />
.containsArabic {<br />
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Arabic_Font, Sans-serif;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Then in HTML:<br />
<br />
<p class="containsArabic">Yada yada yada.</p><br />
<br />
If the browser runs into an Arabic character, the browser will search for those characters first in the Arial and Helvetica fonts, it will look for those characters in the Arabic font. But place the font that you want most of the text to display in first.<br />
<br />

<!--content-->The font tag has been deprecated in favor of cascading style sheets<!--content-->oh! Thanx
