2- Make a new directory in */usr/share/fonts/truetype/* and copy files to it (You should have root privileges to perform this) Let me know if this works for you ;) 2008/8/21 Khamis Siksek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Salam, > > Thanks for sending the PDF it helped a lot. > > I did the following: > 1- Converting the file to text and I have been able to read the document > Arabic characters (pdftotext) > 2- Converted it to html (pdftohtml), opened it in firefox and chose utf8 > also I was able to read it (but this time the words were reversed) > > I tried to open it from the command line (xpdf filename.pdf) and I found > that the problem is that: > Couldn't find a font for 'SimplifiedArabic' > Couldn't find a font for 'ArabicTransparent-Bold' > Couldn't find a font for 'ArabicTransparent' > > I installed everything related to arabic language on my ubuntu but didn't > fix the problem, but as a remedy solution you can now convert to text, until > one of us finds the solution. > > On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 6:07 PM, نتالي سعد <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Here the site I tried to open and attached an image for it previously >> http://www.f15s.com/vb/showthread.php?p=279939 >> This one as well >> http://www.alsakher.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=125752 >> >> and please find the PDF file I tried to open, by the way this happens to >> most Arabic PDFs!! >> >> Thanks everybody for your trials >> >> >> >> 2008/8/21 Jad madi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> >>> >>> Natali, >>> what's that PDF file ? can you attach it or send us its download link >>> ? does this happen with all arabic contents or just this pdf file and >>> some sites.? >>> >>> >>> >> >> >> > > > -- > > Khamis Siksek > http://saksoook.blogspot.com > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ### Jordan Linux Users Group ### http://Jolug.org/ http://groups.google.com/group/Jolug ### Ubuntu Jordan LoCo Team ### https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JordanTeam http://lists.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-jo ### Ojuba Linux ### http://ojuba.org/ ### Jordan PHP ### http://groups.google.com/group/JoPHP -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
