Mac Users
1. Make sure you have the Arabic version of Mac OS, or the Latin version with the Arabic Language Kit. In the latter case, make sure that the active script is Arabic.

2. In the browser preferences (either Navigator, Communicator, IE) select the User Defined Encoding. You have also to select Arabic fonts for this encoding. This will enable you to view Arabic text that is compliant with the Arabic Macintosh Code Page.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to view the Arabic text encoded for Windows machines (1256, Sakhr, etc). In such a case your last resort is to use Cyberdog, which is an Apple product, and can be downloaded from Apple sites.

Before you download Cyberdog you have to install OpenDoc, the technology that Cyberdog is based on. OpenDoc is also free and downloadable from Apple sites. Using Cyberdog will enable you to view Arabic Web content no matter what the underlying encoding is.
