Description a...@gawab.com 2006-01-18 19:19:00 UTC
Version:           3.4.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
OS:                Linux

Arabic characters are shown usually as a character followed by a square. I tried both utf8,utf16,ISO-8859-6 and cp1256 encoding but it doesn't help. 
In Windows it was better with ISO-8859-6 and cp1256 (I can see the arabic letters but they are not joines as they should be in arabic).

Thank you!

sorry, "In Windows it was better with ISO-8859-6 and cp1256 (I can see the arabic letters but they are not joines as they should be in arabic)" here I mean Kdiff3 not Kompare. However my problem is still :)

KDiff3 currently only supports Arabic via right-to-left texts. No character joining at the moment. Perhaps in a later version.
Regarding: "...followed by a square." This might mean the file is UTF16 encoded. If this doesn't work you might want to attach or send me such a file (one line of text would be enough.)

Could you verify if this still happens in 1.8?
