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. --Mehran Mehr ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
Re: Font Problem (fwd)
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. -Connie ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

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). :) -- Behnam Esfahbod ..[ http://esfahbod.info | behnam(a)esfahbod.info ] ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

How could I possibly forget there are zillions of different versions?! However, they all have one thing in common and that is that they aren't unicode compliant and that was the expressed concern. -Connie ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

> I have heared that incompatibility with unicode in such fonts cause these > problem. Payam, I don't think it's related to incompatibility with unicode. I have XP and after all the critical updates all my Persian fonts are working fine. Hopefully you can just download and install the fonts again. -Connie ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
