TOPIC
I installed Mac OS 9, and custom installed Arabic Language Support. I am trying to change the associated Roman Font settings for the Arabic fonts that were installed by Mac OS 9. The Arabic Setting control panel doesn't seem to affect how the fonts are displayed. If I change the associated font to Times, it's still displayed as Geneva or Chicago. Why is this happening?
DISCUSSION The Arabic Setting control panel lets you select the Roman Font you want to associate with Arabic fonts. The Font pop-up menu allows you to choose the default Roman font whenever you type Roman characters in an all-Arabic context. This is useful if you are using an application that allows only one text font, or that doesn't let you have multiple fonts in a single line of text. Arabic Language Support from the Mac OS 9 disc installs two Arabic fonts, AB Cairo and AB Geeza. These fonts have fixed associations with the Roman fonts Chicago and Geneva, respectively. Changes made in the Arabic Setting control panel do not affect these two fonts. However, there are additional Arabic fonts located on the Mac OS 9 disc whose associations to Roman fonts can be set by the Arabic Setting control panel. These fonts are located on the Mac OS 9 disc, in the CD Extras folder, in the Language Kit CD Extras folder. |
