At least in the US, there are a lot more than you might think. I know tens of software development professionals in the Seattle area alone, including myself. SF Bay Area is another, with a large concentration of "Persian geeks". There has also been a strong interest in typography and Persian typography among these groups long before the Web; e.g. TeX. The problem may be one of advertising. I doubt, for example, that any announcement about PersianComputing list has been sent to lists such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]; iran-news is the perfect place for such an announcement. As for pinning hopes on Micro$oft, I think once the full support for Persian is in place in the Open Source inventory, they will "innovate" and provide it (if they think there is a marketing advantage). _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
