There is usually a closed circle of (copy?) editors who learn their job through master-apprentice relations. (I have had the honor to work with two of the technically-oriented ones when I was working on the typography side of the book "Mathematics Olymiad in Iran" seven years ago.) > Ok, when you get around to it, post the publishing info. It's "khabarnaame-ye anformaatik, nashrie-ye khabari-takhassosi-e showraa-ye aali-e anformaatik-e keshvar, saal-e hashtom, shomaare-ye 1 va 2, ordibehesht va tir-e 1372, shomaare-ye mosalsal 53". It is labeled "vizhe-ye estaandaard-e kod-e tabaadol-e ettelaa'aat-e faarsi". The contact information for HCI can be found at <http://www.shci.ir/>. > I'm sure they'll get around to it one day.

One of my contacts with them is also Iranian, and has been something like the head of complex (Middle Eastern and Indic) scripts division of Windows for some years. > I'd put some info on ZWNJ on my Persian wordprocessing FAQ a long time > ago.

I hope that'll be helpful and not cause too much damage. Please post the URL here (and on FarsiWeb mailing list) after you did it. > You all come out snorting, hee-hawing, and neighing when Saber posts a > URL to a site requiring a password and forgets to provide the password > or when there's a heh+hamzeh war. Not really, I would have expected much more people to participate in the Heh+Hamza war, since it was a very hot topic. Honestly, I was dissappointed! ;) roozbeh _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
