[farsiweb] Persian input with US/European keyboard
Connie Bobroff of Wahington University has kindly suggested that I bring our ScriptMaster software products PerScript and PerScribe to the attention of list members who would like to type Farsi using a US/European OS. For most users, particularly those with Windows XP or Windows 2000, **PerScript** is more appropriate. It allows you to type (more or less!) phonetically right-to-left in a text box. The [Unicode] Persian text can then be saved as HTML or, if your system has Farsi-language support, pasted into Word for further processing. For more details and an online demo, please see: http://www.elgin.free-online.co.uk/perscript.htm If you are running Windows 98 you can still use PerScript to generate HTML -- but you won't be able to use Word (for example, Word 97) for further processing. If you really want to produce a Persian document in Word you will have to use our other product, **PerScribe**, which is a bit more complicated and in effect tricks Word into displaying Persian correctly. The .doc file will print out correctly, but may look strange if viewed with a WXP/W2K system. For details, please see: http://www.elgin.free-online.co.uk/perscribe.htm I would be happy to answer any questions about these programs.

[farsiweb] Persian input with US/European keyboard
Hi Nigel! This program of yours, it is not free, is it? Also, there is a link on your page to Eurofarsi or something like that. As a movement which has no authority over Persian language, this site offers no valuable information, insight, or help, to Persian writing people around the world. It only adds to the problems! (If i am not wrong, this site has been up for at least some 4-5 years now and so far, it has been on its own) Learning new combination of latin alphabets for Persian characters per se is not that new or helping. I liked to see it in FarsiTeX as it would help to creat an input file no matter what the platform, Linux, Windows, Mac, etc. However, I, personally, could not make myself go thru learning new key combinations just to type Persian specially on XP. I have the keyboard already available to me, in XP, and I would only need to learn which letter is where ;) Regards, Mostafa ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
