While I don't have Excel to test with, OpenOffice.org Calc will display in Arabic or Han numerals using the NatNum format codes. http://www.scintilla.org/ArabicNumbers.png > Ditto Arabic, I > would imagine; ISO 8859/6 (aka Latin/Arabic) does not contain the > Arabic digits that have been presented here earlier AFAICT.

DOS code page 864 does use 0xB0-0xB9 for ٠ .. ٩. http://www.ascii.ca/cp864.htm Neil _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
