Hi Omar,

Can I check if the font you have set in User options > Display > HTTP Message Display > Font includes the required glyphs? Or please try an alternative font.

What settings do you have for the HTTP Message Display and Character Sets?

Thank you I have already checked my settings , and these are : Font : Courier New Charachter Sets : Recognize automatically based on message headers HTML Rendering : Allow render to make HTTP requests (ticked).

Hi Omar,

This could be caused by the font Courier New not containing all the glyphs required to display the Arabic characters. If you choose a different font do you get better results?

If you have a font installed that you know contains the Arabic glyphs, please test with that. If you're not sure which one to test then it could be worth testing with Times New Roman or Arial to compare the results as a starting point.

If you are still having issues please can you email support@portswigger.net with a screenshot?
