Subject: Re: [pgsql-www] [translators] [Fwd: Re: PostgreSQL 8.1.0 Release is a Go ...]Guys,the arabic page http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit81.html.arneed to be RTL'edit is not readable in LTR direction.
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?
Regards,. Dave
There is a {text-align: left} inside the 'blue' theme that is imported in the main page
it overwrites the page direction.
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)

Marhaba, I've committed the fix you suggested below, you can check it out at http://xzilla.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit81.html.ar and it will be live on the main site within an hour. 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.

Ahlan Robert, a page with a certain font on an OS without that font (even on windows) will be rendered by the next available default font you could do something more safe by listing more fonts, something like: font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; Anyhow, It picks a good font on my linux.
