Thanks Roozbeh. I didn't mean to sound (too) greedy and impatient!
I just wanted to make sure you know there really is a need for some of
the rarer characters. Remember when I was asking some time ago about
the "heh +yeh" as one character? Well, I got a lot of personal emails
about that and people were actually trying to tell me that that character
is no longer used in the modern writing system! Now if folks think that
about the "heh +yeh", then what is the fate of something like the
"superscript alif" and others?! I think these characters shouldn't
be doomed to extinction in the age of computers, right?!
Now if you need resources, you have to be specific because I'm sure there
are a lot of people out there in net land that would love to help you but
don't know how. Like, if you need money, tell them where to send their
checks, if you need software, say what it is, if you need technical info,
state the problem and someone can get the help from one of the many very
helpful forums out there. (But don't ask me for any of these! I'm not
computer savvy and am a poor student and all you folks that send me your
resumes and so forth every time I post a simple computing question to this
group, beware, I can't give you a job and am in fact extremely poor!)
One other thing occured to me. THere are already a lot of Persian fonts
out there. Is there any way you can contact the people who have made
them and just modify them rather than start from scratch? I know this
may not be practical, just a thought from someone who has no clue
about font-making
Again, thanks for all your hard work,
-Connie
