Re: [farsiweb] Standard keyboard DLL for XP
Hi, Programs that uses numerals for calculations (such as MS Excel), know only latin digits (U+0030 to U+0039) as well as they know U+002D as minus or subtraction sign and so on. So if you enter for example U+06F1 into those programs, they accept that as a regular character not a number. This is why you can select different shapes of digits in Control Panel. By the way, if you are serious to use Farsi shape of digits instead of their latin forms, I can add these shapes to TrayLayout program. P.S. After about ten years of experiences in Windows file patching, I believe that using tools to correct problems on-the-fly in Windows is much better than replacing for keeping them up-to-date. For example you should do patches, everytime you install a service pack or something like that.

But I'm not a heavy MS Office user (I only use it when I must), so I can't tell you about the exact problems.

I only use Farsi for letters :) So, I guess there would not be big problems there. Are you refering to the problems when numbers are used, let's say in Excel or Access (not that there are any)?

Re: [farsiweb] Standard keyboard DLL for XP
Thanks so very much. It worked like a charm on my system, XP Pro and there was no real problem at all on installing the improved keyboard layout. On a personal note, I would like to mention a few points. 1. If you use a file manager different than Windows Explorer (e.g. Windows Commander) you might not get those warnings and hence you end up with a restored *.dll and not the one you copied. 2. The new layout has changed a few characters on my keyboard, notable the letter: 'pe' is not on the key 'M' and not on the key right above my ENTER (i.e. \) I am very glad that it worked as it is very hideous to write in Farsi with Latin numbers.

FYI. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2002 17:11:34 +1000 From: Saied Tahaghoghi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: The FarsiWeb Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Standard keyboard DLL for XP [...] I previously used your keyboard DLL for win2k; yesterday I tried it out on XP-Pro, with success. The steps are pretty identical, with the exception of Step 9: Copy the file to C:\Windows\System32 [Confirm File Replace] This folder already contains a file named 'kbdfa.dll' Would you like to replace the existing file ...? ->Select "Yes". [Windows File Protection] Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.
