Created attachment 12448 [details] Content in Chrome Hello, In wikitest-rtl we use ULS. This wiki is made for finding bugs for RTL languages, you can read more in [1] and you can find out which version of mediawiki or ULS we're using in Special:Version Contents that use Arabic scripts (Persian language for example) have very strange bugs in Chrome and IE, when we set our language Persian or Arabic 1-Chrome shows content with "!" between each word I attached an image to show that what it's look like. the URL is [2] so you can test it, too 2-IE shows all of content with separated letters (In Persian separated and joined letters look different) I attached an image for this, too 3-in FF everything looks fine I think problem is in using embedded font but I'm not sure [1]: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/05/30/test-features-in-a-right-to-left-language-environment/ [2]: http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikitest-rtl/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Calak&uselang=fa or uselang=ar Best
Created attachment 12449 [details] content in IE
Please provide detailed information on the operating system and browsers used, and the settings in ULS for content and user interface language. I could so far not reproduce this issue in browsers on OSX (Firefox 21.0, Safari 6.0.4, Chrome 27) and Windows 7 (IE10, Firefox 21.0). Please provide exact steps to reproduce.
I copy content of chrome://version Google Chrome 27.0.1453.94 (Official Build 201630) m OS Windows WebKit 537.36 (@150101) JavaScript V8 3.17.6.14 Flash 11.7.700.203 User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.94 Safari/537.36 please try to set language Persian or Arabic maybe problem comes from this I mean this http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikitest-rtl/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Calak&setlang=fa what i see in chrome is a "!" instead of every space (" ") character I think doing these steps will reproduce exact problem because now even in English bug remained: 1- set your language Persian ("فارسی") 2- go to a page that you haven't see it before (maybe clearing cache will work the same) (I provided some of them in [1] [2]) 3-see the bug [1]:http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikitest-rtl/w/index.php?title=%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D9%87%D9%94_%D8%A7%D8%B5%D9%84%DB%8C [2]:http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikitest-rtl/w/index.php?title=%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9 I used inspect element and showed this: "<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading" lang="dv" style="font-family: FreeFont-Thaana, sans-serif;"><span dir="auto">الصفحة الرئيسية</span></h1>" I think problem is this font "Thaana". please let font change with language of browser
a very unrelated request: let copyright note change with language. We set our wiki language dv (for some reasons) In every language you see copyright note in dv ("ހުރިހާ މާއްދާއެއް Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike ގެ ދަށުން ލިބެން އެބަހުއްޓެވެ.")

I am not able to reproduce this with the steps given. The screenshots attached is very small and not at all readable for me.

OK, I was able to reproduce it. Indeed, this happens because ULS applies a Thaana (Divehi) font to Persian text, and this produces weird results. The right thing is to apply <div lang="fa">. This is by design: ULS currently is only for selecting the interface language, and the content language is a constant in LocalSettings. This may become easier when bug 9360 is resolved. This can probably be closed as INVALID, but it does raise a rather important issue: People who edit wikis *should* apply lang attributes to all embedded foreign text, but quite often they don't, and webfonts may start breaking things here and there.
Thanks Dear Amir no Farsi and Arabic Show is Ok with {{lang|fa}} and {{lang|ar}} Florence
