I'm a Mac user and I had to design a whole new Farsi keyboard layout to include real Farsi Yeh (among other things) the current version (Jaguar) is still using Alef Maksurah. I also created a keyboard layout conform to ISIRI 2901:1994 based on the information I could gather on the Internet. I'm glad Panther will take care of this. But in the meantime, do you know where is the "small Alef" for putting on the Final Yeh (in "hattaa" for example) or Farsi Hamza (Yeh-e-raabet) that we put on the final Heh in this standard layout? I couldn't find them anywhere. > You can use Microsoft Office 2003 and it's updated fonts to see this as > you like! ;) > > -- > Behnam Esfahbod ......[ http://esfahbod.info | behnam(a)esfahbod.info ] > I'm out of luck here. I have Microsoft Office for Macintosh but it doesn't support right to left languages, nor Unicode. These things are reserved for their own platform!
