RE: Persian POS Tagger
We are a group working on Persian POS tagger in university of Tehran. I am sending this email to know if anybody can help us in this field. Hi, I believe there are quite a few members of this list working on POS tagging. Could you give us some more details of your project? Perhaps that would save you from reduplicating efforts of previous projects. -Connie ___ PersianComputing mailing list PersianComputing@lists.sharif.edu http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
Re: Two new fonts from SIL
SIL International has recently released two new fonts, Scheherazade and Lateef, both in two versions of AAT (for Macintosh) and OT (for the rest). They are quite good. Check them out at: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php? site_id=nrsiitem_id=ArabicFonts Yet more Arabic fonts. Looks like they couldn't even find any Persian typists among the beta testers. -Connie ___ PersianComputing mailing list PersianComputing@lists.sharif.edu http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
Re: URLs to memorize
Quoting Behdad Esfahbod [EMAIL PROTECTED]: - First, gives you our beloved standard Persian keyboard. So you can type standard Persian on any computer running IE, Mozilla, or Firefox. - Shows the layout for your convenience. - Makes it easy to convert back and forward between UTF-8 and HTML entities that is a common operation when dealing with web pages. In case you need ideas for future enhancements, please consider putting an apostrophe checker which will search out unescaped apostrophes in the content and add the extra slash before them however leave the apostrophes that are part of the js code alone. This apostrophe problem is already a big enough headache in javascript but in Persian where we transliterate hamze with apostrophe it is that much worse. Note, I am shamelessly suggesting the enhancement without even first having tried out your new editor :) -Connie ___ PersianComputing mailing list PersianComputing@lists.sharif.edu http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
Re: The New Alef
Quoting Behdad Esfahbod [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://bamdad.org/~roozbeh/alef.jpg Smart! That can be useful in hex numbers written in Arabic script too. Indeed they want it to look like one letter, and don't want the Alef to be read as 1. Smart indeed! Put this on the list of desired characters for fonts. Suddenly I'm realizing how ugly my multiple choice tests are looking with the Alef spelled out letter-by-letter when it could be this attractive, compact design as one glyph, perhaps no larger than Beh, Jim, etc. -Connie ___ PersianComputing mailing list PersianComputing@lists.sharif.edu http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
Re: The New Alef
Quoting Roozbeh Pournader [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There has been a new Alef around for quite a while. Why do you say new? Alef is always written out that way as in numbered lists, 1 2 3 alif b j etc -Connie ___ PersianComputing mailing list PersianComputing@lists.sharif.edu http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
Re: problem with farsi in excel 2000 - any help appreciated!
Quoting Julia von Rennenkampff [EMAIL PROTECTED]: but in excel weird things happen, e.g. Julia, Since right-to-left (using normal format buttons) seems to be working for you in Word, perhaps your version of Excel has a bug. There is actually a macro in Word (at least 2003) to force rtl when it occasionally is being really stubborn and refuses to change direction: Tools Macros Macros word commands ltrrun This macro doesn't already exist in Excel but maybe someone here knows how to import it from Word. -Connie ___ PersianComputing mailing list PersianComputing@lists.sharif.edu http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
RE: farsiweb.info
Humm, would you check http://farsitex.org/? I think it worked in IE when I designed it. Done. It looks pretty well, only the non-link items in the left hand menu might not be much readable (or it might be my lack of perfect sight.) I have not had any trouble viewing the site with IE. However, a lot of people with WinXP SP2 aren't able to view any images on *certain* sites. I think it has to do with interference from firewall/anti-virus programs. In any case, many people in Iran turn off images anyhow for faster viewing so you may like to design the site so that it works both with and without images. By the way, I also may be lacking perfect sight but I didn't see a link to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing -Connie ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
