    welcome back hadi

    look here is the steps

    Rename Tahoma.ttf to __Tahoma.ttf

    copy it to windows folder

    rename __Tahoma.ttf to Tahoma.ttf

    do it ,don't worry it will work but you will still have the reverse problem and shaping problem, anyways you have to see it your self, GOD bless you.

    :) don't give up

    I try it with and it's working with me

    look the idea here is that it is uses something called shadow space, the shadow enable you to do the last steps I told you.

    anyways try to replace the font tahoma in windows folder

    if it's not working then use AddFontResource this will enable you to add font within your application but I think it will be long way, you have to do some tries, look I think you butter try to use the Arabizar from Imaginet it has alot of benefits it solves all arabic problems, www.imaginet-software.com 

    here is image for what I am talking about

    how are you hadi I think your problem is in "registering the font" I think you have to register the font first then try again if it's not working then you have some Arabization tools like Arabizar from Imaginet you can download it and use it on emulator http//www.imaginet-software.com after downloading the application install it on the emulator and it will work fine, I tried it and it's working

    in other case that you wrote your own arabization function and you want to use them then you have to read some about true type font and this stuff

    best regards
