Behdad, Nadim, yes these are Urdu characters and I too doesn't benefit at all from their inclusion since I don't know Urdu, but the point is Arabic and Farsi installation support can't be included in Mandrake and may be others easily if there is no unique font that contains Arabic/Farsi/Urdu glyphs especially the ones mentioned by Pablo of MandrakeLinux.com, Please tell you non-team ;) to consider these 7 characters. At least, explain this viewpoint to them. -- Munzir Taha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Linux Registered User #279362 at http://counter.li.org Mandrake Club member Maintainer of Mandrake Arabization Project Status http://www.arabeyes.org/download/documents/distros/mdkarabicsupport-en/ CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS New Horizons CLC Riyadh, SA _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
