I installed Mac OS 10.4.9 and now I cannot use Safari to read some of the Farsi web pages! Apparently the new OS has replaced the previous system fonts with new ones, and the new fonts (I assume the sans-serif family) are buggy when they come to
displaying Farsi texts (the characters are separated.)
The interesting thing is that FireFox still works fine, which makes me think that FireFox has a separate font library, but I couldn't find any in the package or in /Library. Does anybody know what the heck is happening?

Updated Thursday: At last I found a solution to the problem; I went to the Font Book and disabled all duplicate fonts in the User font library. Thanks David.
