Greetings from a new member

I can't read the topic of some channels. They alywas look something like this: ãÑÍÈÇ Èßã Ýí ÇáãÓÇÚÏå ÇáÚÑÈíå.
I have installed several (diffrent languages) fonts on my system and I even also have changed the regional settings but it still remains the same. How can I solve that please?

Thanks in advance

It's meant to look like that, it's a form of Arabic last I checked.

Regards,

Are you sure please?

Quite sure, as a DALnet helping person I continually get that message every single day, and everyone just sends people that have a font like that to #ArabHelp - It is not an error on your screen.

Regards,

They look like in mIRC however not in "real life", it is due to a shortfall in mIRC to support alternative character sets like UTF-8/Unicode.

You will either find the sentence is a bunch of differnet characters made up of 'ãÑÍÈÇ Èßã Ýí ÇáãÓÇÚÏå ÇáÚÑÈíå' type of things which is actually readable by someone who types arabic, or in worse cases it just comes out as lots of '?????????'s.

Cyrillic fonts look very similar too.
