You browser setting for downloading fonts is probably disabled in your settings.

IE, tools, Options, advanced, see checkbox. "Enable Install on Demand(other)"

Mark ... thnx for the response ... but the problem aint with the browser or
the web pages... its with any file i actually download to my pc. if the file
name is in arabic then i see funny characters instead of the real actual
name. Although .... if am using msn, irc or yahoo msngr for example... and am
chatting with someone who writes in arabic; i can read the msgs and even
respond/reply in arabic too if i want!
