Arabic and the internet 
While many Arabs use English or French as their preferred language on the internet, the majority of Arabs, particularly in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and Syria use Arabic. Arabic language on the internet is presented in different forms-formats-encoding techniques. One of the major problems is transporting Arabic text over the internet is due to the multiplicity of character sets. 

Arabic text is cursive, and the shapes of its characters depend on their position in the word. 
The directionality of Arabic text is peculiar: While Arabic text is written right-to-left, Arabic numbers are written left-to-right. 

Solutions have started to emerge with browsers and mail programmes building on new internet standards. The most "popular", and less practical, is the GIF, which is a graphics form that can be read on any operating system, whatever the browser. Nevertheless, this way of representing text as a "picture" of the text, rather than the actual text itself, is far from being acceptable. Such pictures of text are not searchable, and there are are also problems associated with loading time, lack of editing features and tools, and other serious factors. These problems have encouraged Arabic site owners to construct new web sites that support Arabic text. The text format is now the natural and practical choice for reading Arabic text over the internet. 

The most common type of font used for the Arabic script is called Nasekh, which is also the clearest (used in printing books, newspapers and documents). But some Arabic writings are written using other fonts which can differ considerably from Nasekh. In terms of Desktop Publishing al-Nashir al-Sahafi is the industry standard software for Arabic publishing, working with both Macintosh and Windows.
