So should the Netscape (and many others) developers be told to fix their browsers to make the diacrics display properly as with IE or should the font makers (even the core fonts like Arial/Times NR) be told to fix their fonts and do whatever Borna has just done to their fonts? > Actually the FariWeb project was supposed to release some TTF fonts.

Even if they do release a font (and I'm looking forward to it with much eagerness!) the users will still have to download and install on whatever set up they have unless they can be embedded which may be very expensive for non-Weft situations. And the Mac people have to really suffer to convert the font. I see hope for the future but I need "here & now" solutions! > Have a look at www.farsikde.org if you are searching for a model :) (just to > note that these pages exist) ok. I am looking right now! Like BBC, it's functional. Information is conveyed. But your font has an Arabic flavor, no diacritics in sight, no heh+hamzeh. The font of the Persian appears smaller than the English words in the same size font. I will have to trouble myself to enlarge the font size to see properly. I'd prefer scroll bar on the right. Now, all these things are not NECESSARY, especially as suits your content but I don't think they can be called luxury items either !(And hope I didn't hurt your feelings. I certainly know what it's like to try and put up a page to help people and then only get bashed for it:) ) > Also feel free to ask on this list, me or somebody else from this list.

When I first started out, the people in your country who were giving me advice wanted to know why I don't just only concern myself with making things work with Microsoft products since they are so *cheap* and easily available and can produce wonderful results! "Just upgrade, what's the problem?" They couldn't understand. And now I'm hearing the opposite from you. LOL! Can't please anyone! > Oh, yes, you get and deserve credit.
