Bug Description
Hello ,
I just installed pipelight-plugin for silverlight on Ubuntu 14 , it is working perfectly and displaying Arabic words right(labels and menu ) , but if you tried to input some Arabic text , it appears as "????????" ...
if you type the text in LibreOffice Writer and then past it in the Silverlight , it will display it correctly ... I tried systemcheck and looks like all fonts installed , so can anyone help with this problem ?
thanks.

This is most probably caused by missing fonts. Please try the following:
wget https:/ /raw.githubuser content. com/Winetricks/ winetricks/ master/ src/winetricks ~/.wine- pipelight WINE=/usr/ share/pipelight /wine winetricks corefonts
chmod +x winetricks
WINEPREFIX=
Now try to open the silverlight application again. It might work, although this package does not directly install any specific arabic fonts. If it doesn't help and you have access to a windows machine, you might want to copy some fonts from C:\Windows\Fonts to ~/.fonts/ in your home directory. I would especially try Arabtype.ttf, simpo.ttf and trado.ttf.
