Re: Unicode in new IRNA site
... so many sites are using wrong characters. It certainly affects the search engines. Hehe. The humans don't seem to notice but the search engines balk. Seems like it should be the reverse! By the way, this is yet another reason I offer up thanks to Roozbeh, Behnam (and others) for the new Persian keyboard as the Arabic Yeh is only a convenient Shift key away and makes for much more fruitful Google searches! -Connie ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

But it seems some big Persian sites do not have or use or care about the new keyboard and new fonts. What should we do about this?

Re: Unicode in new IRNA site
What should we do about this? Go stand up on your roof and shout: The fonts have been repaired! It's now ok to use Arabic Letter Farsi Yeh U+06CC!! But as far as I know, BBC has never been one of the offenders although I'm too lazy at the moment to check that and the other site mentioned earlier. Anyhow, the default fontsize is usually too small to even see those nasty dots not to mention the Yeh itself. Why don't you do a survey and check some sites today and then check back again in a couple of months. Chances are, your having started this thread (and the one last week) will have served as a wake-up call. Perhaps that's all that was needed! -Connie ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

Well, thank the original designers of ISIRI 2901:1994. They did it eight years ago without even knowing the problem it's solving for you today. roozbeh ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
