On Windows 10, with Edge, Firefox, or Chrome, Arabic characters are not displayed correctly when the language codes ajp (South Levantine) or apc (North Levantine) are used.
“ajp” and “apc” scripts are rendered in Arial (with Firefox, apc is fine but ajp is still problematic), whereas using the “ar” (Modern Standard Arabic) language code, the script is rendered in Segoe UI, which is readable and correct.
Here’s an example from Wikipedia:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Levantine_Arabic#Font_for_South_Levantine

On MacOS BigSur, with Chrome or Safari, all scripts are displayed correctly.
Is there any setting to change in Windows 10 and/or in the browser to display the Levantine (ajp and apc) characters correctly?
