Hi,
The name of the script, as in attachment, seems wrong. According to the constitution, the name of the language and script is Farsi (Persian). Look at
http://www.iranonline.com/iran/iran-info/Government/constitution-2.html and
http://www.moi.gov.ir/ghavanin/asasi.htm#three
I know that Persian script comes from Arabic and many may know it as Arabic, but are all the scripts with their root in Arabic script called Arabic? For example Pashto or Ordu?
Best -ali-
