It's the same old one. Roozbeh Pournader himself. > But where did all the Kasreh's marking Ezafeh's go this time? And why no > ZWNJ on plural -Ha's? I tried doing it in the Academy's style, since we referring to the Persian Academy's style as normative. I personally hate that, and so do most of FarsiWeb staff, but we needed to be compliant here. Call that an experience... The Academy's style only puts "kasre-ye ezaafe"s when there is a clear ambiguity. And it writes "-haa" without a ZWNJ. > Is that really true you aren't supposed to put a written Kasreh after > given names?

That only happens in one case (toman), where it better serves as a footnote. At the same time, the Academy doesn't like the Kasras, so... If that doesn't answer your question, please ask it in a different way ;) > By the way, I have received a PDF file from Iran recently in Persian and > it was possible to copy and paste from the PDF text into Notepad and all > the letters came out perfectly, only the letters were running backwards > from left to right.

I would be enlightened if you tell about PDF tricks you may know that can solve that kind of problems. roozbeh _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
