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

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

It just makes it more like one character, and it needs less space, especially on the car number plates.
