I have never had any problem in V1.99 and it displayed my tree correctly. When I upgraded to GenoPro 2007, I get different characters. I tried using tool->display alphabets->selected Arabic from the active charected set but that did not help. Any idea? When I install the previous version problem goes away.

Any help is appreciated.

I tried all Arabic fonts and nothing changed. The charecters displayed still don't display correctly.

I am in no way an expert of your language, but for testing purpose can you please post 1) a screen shot of the incorrect display, 2) a composite picture of how it should like (you can use paintbrush for this) and 3) a small sample file for testing.

Hy,

I might have another insight in a matter...

Before Unicode, generic fonts have been used. Since, location of specific fonts in code table changed to fixed positions that Unicode uses (so does the GenoPro too).

Problem migh be in fact that you have been using some non-unicode compliant font.

Something like that was happening with MS Windows CE fonts that are no longer supported by MS.

Solution might be for you to try to find out if there is some conversion tool or manually opening *xml and search letter by letter of non standard font and replace it with unicode equivalent...

Was it helpfull?

That is whats displaying. (Wrong Display using GenPro 2007) See below for correct way.

That is how it should display. (correct display using V1.99)

This is because you are opening GenoPro using a non-Arabic version of Windows while the original .gno file was saved with GenoPro 1.99 under an Arabic version of Windows.  To open such files, use the dialog GenoPro Alphabets (Menu -> Tools -> Display Alphabets...) and select Arabic Windows (1256) as the Active Characterset.   Next, open the .gno file and you should get the correct result as the screenshot below:

By the way, GenoPro 2007 (version 2.0.1.1) can display Arabic text in the menus and dialogs.  I wrote special code to support right-to-left text. Let me know what you think about this.

Thank you. I have done this before but using your method on my opened file. What I did this time was to open a blank file first, chnage the alphabet display to Arabic, and then open my file. That way things displayed correctly. Thanks a lot for your help.
