This allows users to select an action with less hesitation. An active phrase also fits best with the button's role in initiating actions, as contrasted with a more passive phrase. 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
Re: ARABIC FARSI YEH

From what I see, there is no Farsi keyboard layout (on PC or Mac) that uses the real Farsi Yeh (U+06CC) they use either U+0649 the Arabic Alef Maksurah (for Mac and some PCs) or U+064A the Arabic Yeh (for some other PCs, with chopped off dots in the Arabic glyph in the font!) 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. Hello, I don't know such things on Mac OS. In MS Windows, the default Farsi keyboard has correct FARSI YEH, and also other replacment o experimental ones. But old Microsoft's Fonts have problems with FARSI YEH, that it's going to be corrected in new versions. In RedHat Linux, the keyboard and fonts, and other 3th party's fonts like Gnome are all correct in this field. 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 ] ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

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. As Roozbeh said, some characters only use in Koranic texts. -- Behnam Esfahbod ..[ http://esfahbod.info | behnam(a)esfahbod.info ] ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
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
