Hello all,
I was wondering whether it is possible to write in Farsi (unicode),
under redhat 8 or redhat 9, has anyone ever done this?
Any and all information would be appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Masoud

You can write Persian in GNOME, KDE, and Mozilla with late version of
Red Hat, althought with different levels of support. XFree86 also has a
keyboard layout called 'ir' for the Iranian Standard ISIRI 2901:1994.
glibc also has a Persian locale, allowing Persian special sorting (like
proper handling of Hamza), localized digits output, and things like
that.
Of course the level of support in Red Hat 9 is a little higher (fixed
more bugs, etc). The major problem seems to be free and
Unicode-compatible fonts. To my best knowledge, no Persian font exists
that passes that criteria.

We were discussing international support over on another group and a very
nice person (who does not actually know Persian) took a look at my Persian
website and gave an assessment of the problems on Netscape and Opera. Since I see
similar results with Linux maybe they stem from the same problem. Since I
don't like the idea of his efforts going to waste and since the topic has
just come up again, I'll just append some of his remarks below. Maybe
someone will do something with this info. (I'm editing out the stuff that doesn't
apply here too much.)

...The problems I described with Opera 7 are also described in your screen shots page.
Basically, it doesn't handle dir="rtl" and thus displays Persian bass ackwards.
I also figured out the primary problem with Netscape 7. In the course of transforming
the utf-8 encoded Persian, it is improperly keeping track of the word lengths and
consequent screen positions (i.e., it is converting multi-byte representations of
individual characters, and not doing the math right for the resultant widths). So the
more to the right the characters appear in the line, the yet more to the right you
must position the cursor for it to behave as if it is over a word for doing a
double-click or click-and-drag select. If you want to select the right-most word, or
the associated quotation mark, you have to place the cursor about an inch to the right
of them, in what is blank space within the display. The errors become less for words
progressively more to the left, and for words in the left half of the line you can
double-click pretty much on the actual words (but things are still not perfectly lined
up). The line should be centered, but appears too far the le!
ft, because Netscape 7 "thinks" it is centering a much longer line. So Netscape 7
still has a seriously flawed implementation,
