I don't think the nesf font has ANY diacritic marks, hamzeh, tashdid,
small vowels, etc. (At least I haven't been able to make them appear.)
Are you asking for purposes of webpage making? If so, you can just
type your page using the Arial MS unicode, Tahoma, etc fonts and specify
in your code something like:
<html dir="rtl">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
<STYLE type="text/css">
BODY { font-family: nazanin, roya, koodak, whatever Persian fonts,
etc }
</STYLE>
</style>
</head>
This will make it so the user will at least see an Arabic font, or if
they have Persian fonts on their machine, they'll see them in
the order you've specified, depending on which they have.
I hope this helps. I wish some expert would post the full story so we'll
all know. Even this much that I've somehow managed to figure out doesn't
always work in some browsers such as Netscape. Some specific problems
are that the Persian fonts won't always display and the RTL doesn't
always work.
