I just partially tested this out and, yes, Farsi SMS can be sent and received with SHR. Now, I don't speak Persian, so I just cut and pasted a bit of Obama's Nowruz address from the web (via Midori). The SMS sending program doesn't have a Paste menu item, but Ctrl+V works. Although the text was left justified, the characters were received in the proper right-to-left order. Of course, I say "partially" tested, because I didn't try out an input method. If someone could do that, I'd be curious to know if it works. By the way, I believe SCIM can handle Persian transliteration from a QWERTY keyboard, so that might be a quick work around until someone makes a Farsi keyboard. --Ben P.S.
