Arabic Subtitles on VLC

[gadelio]

Arabic Subtitles do not have ligatures

Hello,

Ithe arabic subtitles display the unconnected versions of the arabic letters, instead of the correct representation of the arabic word (with the letters connected)

For example, the same subtitles file will be displayed differently
- on Word and Notepad, with C:\Windows\Fonts\cour.ttf (Courier New), CP1256 : "مانـدرلاى"
- or on VLC, with C:\Windows\Fonts\cour.ttf, CP1256 (see the chars between the quotation marks on the screenshot below)

After having played a litte with subtitle options on the preferences' window, and after having read the forum posts, I don't really know what else to do.
I have used several Unicode fonts, several charsets but the problem did not improve.

This happens on the latest available version of VLC Windows (0.8.6d), on an european version of Vista, more specifically.
I also have downloaded the latest nigthie (vlc-0.9.0-svn-20071103-0000-win32) and the problem was still there.

Thank you in advance for your help
