First of all, thanks to Behdad Esfahbod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Roozbeh Pournader <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for replying to my question. I really appreciate your help! I've been struggling in the dark for such a long time with these things...

However, if I click on the corresponding keys on the On-Screen Keyboard, it works! However, when I say "it works," I mean I get a big hamzeh (bigger than the heh!) to the left, just a little raised in relation to the heh. I would prefer to get the result that one gets with the Microsoft keyboard's shift+z which gives "heh + hamzeh above" all in one character. (Even that is not perfect as the hamzeh appears right over the heh and would be better a little more over to the left but maybe this has to do with pixel arrangement and can't be helped...I don't know.) It is nice to have this combination (heh + hamzeh) all in one keystroke as it is fairly common. Perhaps it is the fashion now to type a "heh" followed by a "normal"-sized yeh but there are enough people wanting to keep the "heh" + hamzeh above in use too. (That is one nice thing about this Standard Keyboard for example that one can type numerals in the Arabic/Persian style, otherwise if using the MS keyboard, it is simply easier to go with Western-style numbers and the Arabic/Persian will just fall out of use. Sorry for going on and on, I'm probably just very confused about this heh + hamzeh issue!) > Somehow. The patch is misusing Teh Marbuta as a code for "Heh+Hamza > Above". Which will get you into a lot of troubles when you switch to > standard fonts. I don't know of any "standard" fonts. I have acquired the usual Nazanin, Kamran, Roya, Jadid, Homa, Nasim, etc. They all seem to behave in the same manner. I often type my document (especially for web pages) in Arial MS Unicode then SelectAll and view it with one of my Persian fonts. It always happens that the "tah marbuta" will switch to "heh + hamzeh" when viewed in a Persian font. I have been wondering how I'll type a word that really needs a "tah marbuta" (like "haqiqatan" for ex.) As you can see, I'm totally lost. Any help appreciated!
