Bad Farsi Fonts or something

2005-12-02 Thread Medi Montaseri
Hi 
I am having some problems with my Farsi fonts on my browser and in gedit 
on a Linux box (Fedor Core 4, Gnome )

My problem is 

Letter Ye is always rendered as though it was an independent or
detatched letter. For example, in the word MILI (as in mili-second) all the
Ye letters are rendered as it would with MEHDI where ye is not
connected to de.


Some help is appreciated.
Thanks
Medi

Basically, you don't have good fonts, and that's the default on
FC4 unfortunately :(.  You need to install the FarsiWeb fonts
package (available from http://farsiweb.info/) to start with.
There is a fontconfig configuration file like this one:

This will be included in fontconfig-2.4 release coming soon.


 Some help is appreciated.
