Thanks for the info. The funny thing is that even with all the language
support boxes unchecked, Arabic works the right way, and Hindi works
right except for this one vowel. Unfortunately I no longer have access
to the original CD, but fortunately this computer's being replace in the
next few weeks anyway.

Firefox messes up when vowels are added (as they are in the column
headers and in the letters' names for hamzah, 'alif, and 'alif maddah,
but then not for the names of the remaining letters), but IE handles
them fine. All the letter forms are correct in both browsers, and
Firefox, but not IE, shows vertical lines with an x-cross at the top as
placeholders for the preceding letter for the medial and final forms.

And that's wrong. The zero-width joiner (‍) should not be
visible. These two
‍ه‍
ﻬ
should look the same, showing you the connecting (middle) glyph
of the letter ha.

"al-qâ'idah" is Arabic and means "black water".

Except for the placeholder, they do look the same--I'm correctly seeing
all four forms of ha.

Is there a rule that says that when ZWJ follows a space it shouldn't be
treated as an intention to indicate the position of a phantom letter?
