i switched recently from Fedora to Slackware 11.0 as i found that it's more stable and more educational let me say. i installed Slackware with Arabic language support and installed FireFox 2.0.
www.bbcarabic.com is coming back with readable but crappy arabic font .... i tried all text encoding included with firefox and i found out that the only encoding which is working is Arabic (Windows-1256)
does firefox depend on fonts included with slackware to display the page? or does it come with it's own font collection? is there a way to add more fonts either way?
