Seems to work fine on XP.  I will have to try on Windows 7 later.

> The arabic letters don't have a constant form. This seems to be the problem (?): Try f-S and compare with f-S-f.

I don't understand what you are saying here.  Is something wrong with
how f-S or f-S-f are displayed?  If so, what exactly is wrong?  If
that's not what you meant, then what "seems to be the problem"?

Thanks.
