Hi Experts,

I bought this week the PB 903, which is really an excellent device . One of the important reasons why I ordered this reader was to read news paper in the web, it looks fine except the issue of displaying Arabic Web Pages:

Arabic alphabets appear in the right order (from right to left) BUT letters are separated!!

I am attaching 2 screenshots of a web page (Arabic BBC) and how it appears on the BP reader and same page on my iPhone

Even tried to change the language of the device from English to Arabic did not solve the issue
Can you please advise what I can do in order to get Arabic HTML pages displayed correctly?

PS: I have seen there is an option in the web browser under encoding to select "Custom" Is there a way to add manually any files there which would help
to read Arabic properly?

The device firmware version is: D903.2.0.420110106_160908
I checked the date of the SWUPDATE.BIN file in the root directory: Last Modified 20. ‎January ‎2011, ‏‎18:32:00, which seems to be the latest one ?

I really appreciate your help

Many thanks in advance
