InfoWindow Arabic text Issue

AshishArora — Thu, 30 May 2013 05:05:25 GMT

Hello

I am facing an issue with InfoWindow related to Arabic text. Please let me know if anybody has faced such issue before or knows how to fix it.

var infoTemplateLM = new esri.InfoTemplate("","${ptName} Zoom To ")

variable ptName is assigned some Arabic Text but when infowindow display on map, instead of that Arabic Text, i am getting very weird English alphabets. whereas instead of variable, if i insert arabic text directly then i am getting the correct result.

Note: This is happening only on Apple Safari Browsers

Thanks

Anybody facing this Arabic issue with safari browser?

Is this happening with InfoTemplate only? Have your tried displaying the arabic text in some other place in your site...

A quick google search shows that there are some issues with Arabic fonts on Safari although many of the articles are several years old. It could be an issue with fonts? Can you inspect the text and see which font is used to render the popup text?
