Hello,
It's not redhat or kwrite problem. Your file is *correct*.
The problem is in windows and ie, and it's cause of your font. There is
no glyph for ARABIC KEHEH and ARABIC FARSI YEH if your font, so ie put
az ? instead.

Hi Behnam,
Could you elaborate on Farsi Yeh issue?
From what I see, there is no Farsi keyboard layout (on PC or Mac) that uses
the real Farsi Yeh (U+06CC) they use either U+0649 the Arabic Alef Maksurah
(for Mac and some PCs) or U+064A the Arabic Yeh (for some other PCs, with
chopped off dots in the Arabic glyph in the font!)
To my knowledge, most Farsi fonts don't have real Farsi Yeh. Some do, but
it's actually not being used by current Farsi keyboards on either platforms.

Hello,
I don't know such things on Mac OS.
In MS Windows, the default Farsi keyboard has correct FARSI YEH, and
also other replacment o experimental ones. But old Microsoft's Fonts have
problems with FARSI YEH, that it's going to be corrected in new
versions.
In RedHat Linux, the keyboard and fonts, and other 3th party's fonts like
Gnome are all correct in this field.
You can use Microsoft Office 2003 and it's updated fonts to see this as
you like! ;)

Windows 2000 and Windows XP both use U+06CC in their 'Farsi' keyboard
layouts. I don't know about current versions of Mac OS (which has a
keyboard named 'Persian'), but Panther (Mac OS 10.3) will include a
Persian keyboard layout based on ISIRI 2901:1994.

You're somehow right. But this is something that is being fixed
everywhere, although not quickly.

That's a very good news!
I'm a Mac user and I had to design a whole new Farsi keyboard layout to
include real Farsi Yeh (among other things) the current version (Jaguar) is
still using Alef Maksurah.
I also created a keyboard layout conform to ISIRI 2901:1994 based on the
information I could gather on the Internet. I'm glad Panther will take care
of this. But in the meantime, do you know where is the small Alef for
putting on the Final Yeh (in hattaa for example) or Farsi Hamza
(Yeh-e-raabet) that we put on the final Heh in this standard layout? I
couldn't find them anywhere.

I'm out of luck here. I have Microsoft Office for Macintosh but it doesn't
support right to left languages, nor Unicode. These things are reserved for
their own platform!
Roozbeh and Behnam, thanks both
