TrueType Unicode Farsi fonts
Hi everybody, I'm almost finished (or that's what I thought!) with my fonts and they work fine on my word processor. I sent few samples to Connie for testing on a PC and they didn't work. It seems some tables should be added to the fonts in order to be contextualize on a PC (Codepages?) Any information on this matter will be appreciated because I'm totally lost now!

Re: Salam
Hi Abdul, This is the first time I see your message. Maybe because I usually skip Farsi texts written with Roman characters. I have always difficulty to read those. The reason you receive a whole bunch of emails is probably because you are subscribed to this newsgroup. So you get everything exchanged in this forum. You can unsubscribe anytime you want. I personally have difficulty to stay subscribed for a sustainable time! I realize you lost interest in installing Farsi fonts on Macintosh. But if you changed your mind, I may be able to help you. In fact it is very easy to install fonts on Mac. Just put the fonts in the font folder! If you need more detail, I need to know which OS you are using. OS 9 or OS X Cheers, Behnam On 13-Dec-03, at 1:19 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2003 00:21:50 +0100 From: Abdul [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Salam To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Dostane aziz age nemitonid komakam konid hadaghal inghad rozi 10 email baram nazanid ke hajme e mail e mano begire Man ye khahesh azeton dashtam on ham ke be man komak konid ke font farsi ro computere macintosh nasb konam vali alan dige pashimon shodam nemikham nasb konam vali lotfan az in be bad be man e mail nazanid Khely mamnon az hamkarie shoma khodanegahdar ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

For example Find and Log In are better buttons than than Yes and OK. Isn't this only about *English* button labels? I think no, it's right about *buttons*. But we should translate Print... in File menu as infinitive, chaap or chaap-kardan, IMPO. -- Behnam Esfahbod ..[ http://esfahbod.info | behnam(a)esfahbod.info ] ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

Windows 2000 and Windows XP both use U+06CC in their 'Farsi' keyboard layouts. I don't know about current versions of Mac OS (which has a keyboard named 'Persian'), but Panther (Mac OS 10.3) will include a Persian keyboard layout based on ISIRI 2901:1994. To my knowledge, most Farsi fonts don't have real Farsi Yeh. Some do, but it's actually not being used by current Farsi keyboards on either platforms. You're somehow right. But this is something that is being fixed everywhere, although not quickly. roozbeh __ That's a very good news! 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!

Possibly related to the fact I don't have MS Arial Unicode (or whatever it's now called) installed?? Or maybe that's supposed to be the tatweel?? It's ARABIC LETTER ALEF MAKSURA [U+0649]. Its ISOLATED and FINAL forms are like ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH [U+06CC], so we show it in the layout as INITIAL form. And forgive my ignorance but when do you use subscript alif? I've only used it in Pakistani contexts.

Re: [farsiweb] New keyboard layout for Windows
Oops! 2. This is a Windows feature: Ctrl+Shift will act like AltGr/right Alt. If you have shortcut keys assigned to them, they may start to act in a weird way. The truth is Ctrl+Alt act as AltGr (right Alt). -- Behnam Esfahbod ..[ http://esfahbod.info | behnam(a)esfahbod.info ] ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

I didn't know about them at all. Combining of C, R and T with AltGr (also Ctrl+Alt in windows) in new keyboard layout is empty and so, MS Word SHOULD catch them for Copyright, Reserved Trademark, and Trademark (that it does). If we set any character at these keys, MS Word SHOULD NOT use them for any other character. As Roozbeh suggested, we can put these 3 character in the new layout, but my opinion is that we don't; because they SHOULD NOT use in persian texts, and we have other local shapes for these characters. -- Behnam Esfahbod ..[ http://esfahbod.info | behnam(a)esfahbod.info ] ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
