Do you really belive so?! It's definitely harder to type "zban farsi" than "cfhk thvsd" for the word "زبان فارسی" for almost everybody I know around here. And almost all of them are *more* familiar with the QWERTY keyboard than with the کمنتالبیسش keyboard. > PerScript also simplifies typing the different letters for H, T, S and > Z: for example you simply type z, Z, z\ and Z\ for Ze, Zad, Zal & Za. And one will always forget which /z/ was which, believe me. How do you remember which was Zal, "Z" or "z\"? On the Iranian layout, you will not forget this, since Ze is next to Re, Zal is next to Dal, Zad is next to Sad, and Za is next to Ta. > With Windows 98 it seems to me that you have to use something like the > PerScript approach, or Jon D.'s converter, since Farsi support isn't available. For Persian editing on Win98, one can either use a HTML edit box using a recent Internet Explorer (which almost all weblog writers are using now), or use a real Unicode application like SC Unipad. I personally don't recommend using a hacky method for entering Persian on platforms that don't support it. roozbeh _______________________________________________ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
