No it's not. It is Microsoft's "Farsi" layout. This has never been a standard. It is only *based* on ISIRI 2901:1989. The real evolution path is unknown, but a guess may be either "soft-vaar" or "patsaa" companies, which were MS representatives in Iran for a while. ISIRI 2901:1988 had the shifted mode assigned to the so-called lower case letters. So if "F" was isolated/final Beh, "f" would be initial/medial Beh. roozbeh _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
