Comment (by gnu):

 Build 353 changes this but doesn't fix it.  Perhaps more fixes are in a
 later build.

 Now Arabic fonts are so missing or broken that the links for them just
 don't appear.  E.g. click "Encyclopedia" in the left margin just after
 starting the Web app.

 Also, that "left margin" menu is really pretty bad.  It takes up a good
 chunk of the screen
 space (and then the things that display to its right also have their own
 stupid sidebars, so
 half the screen is gone before you can read anything).  And it somehow
 subverts the "Back" and
 "Forward" buttons; it doesn't remember where you were, or let you go back.
 We were better off
 without it.

 I tried to get rid of the sidebar by navigating to a file using the new
 "Open" menu item (which looks like a book with an arrow leading away from
 it -- huh?).  I went to Library, encyclopedia, then index.html.  Four
 bullets show, but only three words "Agriculture".  I clicked on the top
 one and got the Spanish page.  It displays OK except that its pictures are
 missing.  (For some reason it says "Una plantacion de maiz en
 Liechtenstein." twice in an inappropriate place; I'm assuming these were
 captions for two pictures?  Why twice?)

 It's a bit odd for the symbol for the "read local educational stuff"
 appli...ctivity to be a globe.  Will the kids get the right concepts, that
 sometimes the stuff that the WWW shows you is on your own laptop,
 sometimes on the school server, and sometimes out in the world?
