I agree Nadim, there are about four glyphs required for each of those missing characters, which makes the matter a little hard. Also, most of the those fonts do not really look beautiful to a Persian or Urdu reader. BTW, we (FarsiWeb) are working on our Persian fonts, which we will release soon, some as GPL, some with a license like Bitstream Vera. roozbeh _______________________________________________ General mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/general
