    Maikel - either you are having a kerning problem, as what lukus_W mentioned or the Arabic support is lacking at the printer end. Either send the artwork outlined, so the Arabic text is not in need of the actual font.

    Or you may need to do the artwork in either Adobe Illustrator ME (Middle East version) or Corel Draw (which supports Arabic).

    I deal with Arabic regularly, so have the ME suit as standard now (stopped buying the normal Adobe collections).

    If you have a four-year contract, get Corel Draw (I hate it) or invest in AI ME.

    • When there is lack of Arabic font support, the letters separate and do not connect, its not kerning, its broken.MakeBelieve
