An update is available that changes the default settings of the shaping behavior for Arabic text rendering in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

Introduction

This article describes an update that changes the default shaping behavior for OpenType Arabic fonts in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2. Arabic fonts that include discretionary ligatures and contextual alternates may shape or display differently in applications (for example, in Microsoft Office 2013) after this update is applied.

More Information

This update prevents the automatic application of discretionary ligatures and contextual alternates. Additionally, this update aligns the shaping behavior for Arabic text rendering with the behavior for Arabic text in Windows 8.

File information

The global version of this update installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes

Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

Version	Product	Milestone	Service branch
6.1.760 0.17xxx	Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2	RTM	GDR
6.1.760 0.21xxx	Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2	RTM	LDR
6.1.760 1.18xxx	Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2	SP1	GDR
6.1.760 1.22xxx	Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2	SP1	LDR

GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
