Technical Difficulties
I don't know what the fuck is going on with the blog. I complained to Blogger Support about the tiny Arabic fonts and the fact that my NAV bar looks all weird.
It's not working properly and I am extremely annoyed!!!!!
The problem is the font issue. I tried a quick fix of forcing the comment to use my font choice:
>font face="Tahoma"< سدفسدفسادف >/font< (the < , > are reversed)
Or allowing a >div< system so people can contain their arabic fonts in that.
But blogger doesn't allow those tags.
What I suggest is either in your template change the default font face to good one that can handle english and arabic. I think the two best ones I've seen are "Tahmoa" or "arabic transparent".
Or just do a template over haul. That way you can tweak the font issue even better and rearrange the tables and layer system. This will give you more control in creating certain areas that will use specifc fonts.
Actually, Blogger support told me they don't offer support for customized fonts.
And my NAV bar was acting weird so they were working on it last night, in case you were wondering what happened. Jambino thought I took it off the air, or had it "forcibly taken".

I'll do a template overhaul by the new year or my birthday (Jan 6 if anyone's interested)... or when Blogger puts up some cool new ones
ReplyDeleteWhichever comes first
