I am running an Intel Mac OS X Version 10.5.5.  I just used Firefox   
Version 2.0.0.7 to view al-Jazeera.  An interrogation mark (?) appears  
in place of a final hamza, in particular.  In the tests you ran Dil,  
with Tiger and Leopard, did these computers all have the same version  
of Firefox?

I saw this thread that mentions it:

You might want to try FF3.0Beta on Leopard as a workaround, if you  
have not already.

I went ahead and downloaded the 3.0 beta version of Firefox, and it  
has fixed the problem.  So if you are willing to deal with a Beta and  
want to use Firefox, that is probably the best solution.
Thanks for the suggestions.
