Hello,

In FireFox 4, Arabic text with accents (ًٌٍَُِّْ) is shown broken. It was displayed correctly in previous versions and also in IE.

Consider please the following examples, and compare between the words with and without accents. You can see the gaps between the letters: دعم فَيَرفُكس مُتَصَفِّحُ فَيَرفُكس هُو مُتَصفح الانترنت الأفضل فى العالم

The problem is not site specific. It is common to all sites with Arabic texts. I'll just provide an example URL. Compare the display of FF4 with previous versions or with IE.

Thank you.. You are the best !! :)

BTW, disabling/enabling the option "allow web pages to use their own fonts" had no effect. The broken text problem is the same in either case.
