 No, I did not have any additional fonts on my machine: the machine was

None of these include Koodak font, do they? :-)

Thanks for the clarification, Masoud.  I've been studying your exhibits.
Very interesting that your Tahoma in English gives all the English
letters correctly. For example, the two letters in the name Hafiz should
not be available in your version of Tahoma. So you either are benefiting
from the updates or from my font via Weft. But why could it not have
also given you the corrected Yeh in Persian? Since your machine can handle
the Yeh in Koodak, it is not that it can't display the unicode character
or that there is some shaping problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

RE: Days of the Week abbreviated

 There is no abbreviated form for the weekday names in Persian. However,
 in certain cases such as in the month calendar headers it is acceptable
 to use the first letter of weekdays. The direction is also from right to
 left.

Maybe you should also mention the style in Behdad's middle picture. The
one with the days of the week on the side. Maybe some segment of the
population is accustomed to seeing that style. You might mess up their
life if you take away what they're comfortable with! (Of course,
this is beyond the abbreviation question.)  -Connie
