Fonts in a few semitic resources

Not sure if it is just me, but at least Lane's arabic lexicon and Lectures on the Comparative Grammar of the Semitic Languages have font problems.

Lane has many problems, where the arabic text is on top of the english text, same thing appears to be in the Wright's book, plus as you can see there are some spacing problems in the Wright. I don't know syriac, but are those letters even connected together?

Thanks!

Thanks! I hope Lectures on the Comparative Grammar of the Semitic Languages gets fixed also.

As to the Syriac, yes it is broke too. Syriac display in Logos is broken due to some underlying issues with the Microsoft WPF layer they use for display and rendering. Microsoft has fixed the problem in later version of the .NET distribution but Logos has been unable to migrate because of bugs in the newer versions of .NET. Bugs which Logos must deem to be more significant than the inability of people to read the Syriac resources that they produce.

Noticed Feature Parity list has been updated, confirmed Logos 4.6a Beta 2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 looks better:
