I don't speak Arabic or know anything about it other than what's in the Unicode data :) I get the impression that Persian is a superset of standard Arabic (like adding accented European characters to standard Roman), so something that works with Persian should display standard Arabic correctly too (I think there are some differences with ligatures, but they're minor). I know nothing about Sorani, but I'd suggest trying it out and seeing how things turn out. By the way: if your text is short and doesn't need line breaks, you *may* find that if you use non-embedded fonts your text will display correctly with no work at all. Try that first if you're willing to sacrifice a little quality. > Also we're getting the copy supplied from a translation > house, the Project Manager said this will be coming over as > pdf.

AFAIK, Acrobat supports RTL languages fine (although you may need to install the language pack on your machine). > > I can't seem to log into the archives, which is frustrating. You should be able to search them with Google: try 'flashcoders kodicek arabic' as a search string.
