Installing Arabic to Windows XP

Yes, I’m still using XP and fully aware they will end support in April 2014.

Still doesn’t mean my current computer isn’t usable and have no intention of changing soon.

Main reason, alot of old programs which i developed or currently owned licensed doesn’t work with a new PC.

Personally, i’ll probably upgrade from XP to Windows 8.1, with a tablet as well.

Anyway, I encountered an issue today which i like to share, which is installing Arabic for an illustrator work. Since my XP system have no support (i.e fonts) for Arabic, i found the below website via google of course provided the best solution.

Now i can write or paste Arabic text into my illustrator project.

Next is Vietnamese!
