Setting the Views control panel to Geeza or Tehran is necessary
only to read Arabic file and folder names. If you don’t set the
Views control panel, you will still see Arabic correctly displayed
within your Arabic or multilingual application programs. You
can write and print in Arabic; remember to give your files non-
Arabic names.
I changed my Views control panel to the Geeza (or
Tehran) font, but I still see odd characters in my
Application menu.
Not all the problems of working in multiple languages on one
computer have been solved. Unfortunately, the Application menu
cannot display Arabic names, even after you set your Views
control panel to an Arabic font. The names of your Arabic applica-
tion programs will not be correctly displayed in the Application
menu and in certain dialog boxes.
Icons that appear in the Application menu next to each program’s
name will help you to identify your Arabic programs.
I can’t edit an Arabic file or folder name.
You may have a non-Arabic keyboard selected in the Keyboards
menu. Pull down the Keyboards menu and select an Arabic
keyboard.
For more information on the Keyboards menu, see Chapter 4.
I reinstalled one of my Arabic application programs. Do I
need to re-register it in Arabic?
If the name of your program changes, you must re-register it. See
Chapter 3 for instructions on registering a program in Arabic.
I can’t work in Arabic with my usual application
program.
Your application program may not be completely compatible with
WorldScript I. If it isn’t, it won’t automatically switch to an Arabic
font when you select an Arabic keyboard, or it may not let you see
the Arabic fonts in the font menu, or it may not support right-to-
left text entry.
To determine if your application program is WorldScript I
compatible, please consult the dealer from whom you purchased
the program, or the program’s manufacturer.
Since I installed the Arabic Language Kit, I can no longer
work with some of my other application programs, even
in Roman.
This may be caused by a lack of memory. The Arabic Language Kit,
when installed, is automatically loaded in memory at startup along
with system software. Your system software takes up more space
in memory, and the amount of memory available for programs
decreases.
