Oh and how do I install Arabic fonts on my computer?

1. Control panel
2.Regional and language options (the one with the globe)
3.click on the languages tab
4.check the first check box (if u don't get asked for an XP CD. then continue)
5.after installing, u may have to restart, so follow steps 1&2 again, this time, click on details, this is the keyboard settings, now click add, and add whichever Arabic keyboard u wish (i would recomend Saudi Arabian

).
6. Now, next to the system tray there is either a 'EN' or 'AR' click it and select which keyboard you would like to use.....

If all doesn't work, please let me know

**Mawaddah** · 07-19-2006

Jazakallah for the instructions Bro!! Princess you download it too and then we'll write stories and compare them alright?

Well no problem then....you almost got it right but like this would be correct insha'allah :

لااستطعت فتح عيناي

Or should it be Maa instead of Laa Princess?

**afriend** · 07-19-2006

yeah sorta..

1)you forgot the "an"
2)the daa..is the daa with the stivk and no dots!
3)the last yaa in 3aynayya..is the normal yaa al-mutakalimmah...it just has a shaddah, no alif
