I checked it up. "month calendar" is a term used for the calendars with
a month view. I found this in use even more than "monthly calendar".

Common?
How about, "acceptable" or something like that?

I confirm. The screenshot I sent was just for making people see
something. The preferred direction is right to left and then top to
bottom.

Hi,
Roozbeh gave a nice sample, but I've also seen month calendars showing
one-letter headings in a reverse direction (right-to-left). Compare with
this: http://www.geocities.com/omidkrad/Calendar/PersianDatePicker.gif
Should we follow the numbers reading order or the letters reading order?

The main problem with the fonts right now are:
* The lack line height data.
* The size does not match of the MS fonts. (so not to the
Latin fonts).
* A few of fonts have bitmaps added. Those bitmaps should be
removed.
* There's a known problem on LCDs, but that's another story
perhaps.

Not much has happened with the fonts since last year (1382), and the
latest version is 0.4. BTW, we need volunteers for tracking bugs in the

Hi Connie,
Seems like I still should clarify some things for you :).
First one is the concept of an abbreviation: I'm strongly with
the idea that a single letter is not called an abbreviation. I
doubt if anyone disagree on this.
Ok, let's see what we have in English:
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,

No hurry, votes can be added any time. All I ask is that voters
actually be living in Iran. If anyone else still wants to submit their
vote, please do so.

Oh! I am late to vote!
In IranL10nInfo draft we have defined the first letter of the weekdays for their
abbreviated names. You can see it in the first table of section [3.2]:

I think we should conclude that abbreviations should be avoided.

Why? I think when you have Fe-Re, Aliph-Re, and Mim-Re, representing
Khordad as Khe-Re will make no misunderstanding.

I think that's not so rare. I have seen some. Also you can see that all
Jalali month names may be distinguished by the first two letters.
