Thank you very much for this helpful solution. Two issues to note, however:

1. T Gewecke’s [Shift] + [i] = shadda (in Arabic PC keyboard) still does not produce a shadda on my machine, for some reason.

2. The WinVArabic101 keyboard is nice overall, but doesn’t work well with some fonts; with Times New Roman in Mellel, for example, inserting a shadda creates a gap between the “mushaddad” letter and the one following it. The solution seems to be to switch to a different font (XBNiloofar works well for my purposes).

After installing the WinVArabic101, I cannot select it at the source in put menu. It is faded and thus cannot be selected.

But when I’m surfing in safari, the option becomes clear again and I can select it to be my keyboard layout. BUT. once I do that, my safari closes down immediately! And the option becomes faded again. Please help.

I’m using Safari 5 on Snow Leopard.

Thanks!

Love your photography by the way~
