Re: Embeding farsi font for web pages

2003-10-24 Thread C Bobroff
Sadeq,
The secret is that the font must have  embedding permission enabled.
You can check permissions on the font with this free tool:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/property/property.htm

The Farsiweb Koodak font will work although that is still under
construction.  I'm guessing Mehran's fonts mentioned earlier today will
also work and if so, that will be great since they are unicode-compliant.
Mehran?

I've successfully used Borna's fonts with Weft a long time ago:
http://www.bornaray.com/en_fonts.asp?fn=per_fonts&rfn=en_fonts&parent=fontslist&Grand=Main

These fonts are not unicode-compliant but since you are embedding, as long
as you specify UTF-8, that should also work.

Of course Weft is only for WIndows and Internet Explorer. Also, if the
system administrator has configured the computer in such a way that
certain settings are forced on the user, then also Weft won't work.
However, Weft may be one solution to insure the user sees YOUR font since,
as we've been discussing of late, one font name can be a zillion different
fonts.

Embeding farsi font for web pages

2003-10-24 Thread Naqashzade, Sadeq
Hi every one, 
Di any one try to embed farsi fonts to use in web sites? I used M$ WEFT 3 for it. I 
able to embed Nesf & Nesf2 fonts but failed to embed other fonts such as "Mitra", "B 
Mitra" and such fonts that are avaliable on Parsa 99/2001. 
Have any one any idea for embeding other farsi fonts? 

Regards, 
Sadeq

Persian Country List

2003-10-24 Thread Sina Ahmadian
salam,

After searching almost all the net for a persian list of countries, I didn't 
find anything! Some websites use the english country list while others leave 
the users free to enter their country name. I remember I've seen a persian 
country list somewhere online, but don't know exactly where!
Please reply if you have such a list or know where I can find it.

No, they are not complete. They just work. FarsiWeb will release fully 
compliant (with upcoming Persian Font Standards) fonts later.

I know many people who reinstall their XP's, without updating, and as 
you know it is worse than having many fonts with the same names but 
different behaviors.

As I said, I have many non-unicode compliant fonts on my XP and they were
not affected by the critical updates so perhaps something else is
involved.

Next question:
What are all these font packages we are suddenly hearing about? I only
know about Farsiweb's Koodak which I thought was under construction and
not yet ready for distribution. Perhaps Mehran and Behnam could provide
some details about these fonts. Are they complete? Do they have all the
characters? Do the diacritics position correctly?  I'm worried there's
going to be many fonts with the same names but different behaviors.

We hal the same problem here (FarsiWeb) with our WinXP machine; and the 
only Persian font (without microsoft's fonts) is our Koodak (alpha 
version).

You could uninstall new updates or wait for our unicode-compatible fonts. 
(10 fonts of parsa.zip). :)
