Illustrator and Arabic text

To handle Arabic within Adobe Illustrator, or other Adobe products, you need to use the Middle Eastern versions. English editions cannot handle the complexity of the Arabic language. Using Illustrator CS4-ME for example, it includes bundle of Arabic Fonts, and allows you to compose Arabic text or import Arabic text -for example from Microsoft Word. See Illustrator CS4-ME examples: http://www.fontworld.com/me/illustratorme.html

You first have to go to the System Preferences and choose one of the three arabic input modes or all three if you wish.

Then you have to select one of the arabic fonts that are installed the type you might have to type backwards in order to make this work as I believe arabic is right to left.

Hi,

i have a simple question.

How can i write arabic text in Adobe Illustrator OR CS suite???

No way? Plugin? ME edition?

I have a full licence of CS3 and CS4 and i can't compose arabic text!

It's a mistake?

Many thanks!
