The fonts you use, have been designed at the time of Windows 3.1 with Arabic support, IIRC. The shaping mechanism was hard coded in Windows at the time (I guess it's still hard coded in a way or other). So they could only replace an Arabic letter with a Persian one. So they replaced Arabic Kaf with Persian Kaf, Arabic Yeh with Farsi Yeh, Teh Marbuta with Heh with Small Yeh above, ... If they wished to use an empty position, the letter would have not shaped. roozbeh _______________________________________________ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
