I don't understand how it can't be reproduced correctly ? Can you please provide some sites or documents that you can't read correctly.

Thanks for your response.
I've tried few quran sites, found was displayed accordingly.
But this quran explorer site still problem.
Is it due to hardware or setting on my desktop?. On my windows
notebook viewed by ff 3. ok.

thank you

Can you please give me some links for these sites to check them.

I have getting the same problem. It works OK on MSWindowsXP using IE7 ONLY. It will not work properly using FireFox on MSWindowsXP let alone FireFox3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04.

This is an amazing site and it is extremely frustrating not being able to use it on Linux.

[mashcaster (mashcaster)]

This is what it looks like on ie7 on MSWindowsXP.

This is what it looks like on fx3 on MSWindowsXP.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

It is still a problem, it works on Debian Etch but not on Ubuntu 8.10.
