Please add screenshots of working and not working, of the same page, for comparison. "Not display correctly" is far too vague. What is wrong, exactly? How will I know if it's fixed?

see Facebook for example in picture

left side in picture show you how Arabic font should appear, and it is correct font .
right side in picture show u how Arabic font appear in chrome (after Ubuntu update), and as you can see letters in word appear like they are separate

this example in Facebook Site

if you want more information, tell me please

thanks

bassel, that's perfect. Thank you.

[Chad Miller (cmiller)]

bassel, ah, I see it does not happen on every site. I need to find out what the differences are. Can you point me to some text that I can investigate? A screenshot is good to see what you expect, but I need to be able to reproduce it too.

[bassel (bs10)]

that is right
i dont really know the difference
look at this link
https://www.facebook.com/groups/abdullaheid/?fref=ts
you can see text there

Note :
maybe not sure, the reason of this problem that Facebook and some other sites using some fonts Ubuntu does not support it,
because some time i use 'addone' in chrome to fix this problem,
and what is 'add' do is change font to another fonts then it is fix
but i dont use it always because it is has some bugs
and this is link of this 'add' if you want to see how it is work

thanks

bassel, please forgive me for not knowing much of arabic. Will you please help me understand it? I'm examining your screenshot.

Let's look at the first line of the message. There's a word within square brackets. On the chromium side, Is that lām (initial), lām (final), nūn (isolated), qāf (isolated), alif (isolated), shīn (isolated)?

I'm guessing all text is rendered as isolated letters only, with a few specific ligatures. Is that accurate?

Also, what does it look like with no extensions enabled? chrome://extensions/
