Hmm, not sure how to fix that, knowing little about these issues myself. The site certainly /thinks/ it's got to display it in rtl, and does write the html tag accordingly: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="ar" xml:lang="ar" dir="rtl"> Any ideas what else is required?

It can be found here http://www.postgresql.org/layout/css/blue/layout.css there is a workarround to cascade a new value for this property in the content div having the release surrounded with <div style="text-align: right; font-family: tahoma;"> .. </div> will make it render fine. (tahoma font is the best font for arabic letters) Regards.

Please give it the once over and lmk if anything else needs changing. One other thing we were wondering about is Tahoma font on non-widows platforms... will that work? AFAICT it looks ok on my linux box, but I can't read arabic so I'm probably not the best judge.
