Ok...so I downloaded
http://www.farsiweb.info/font/farsifonts-0.4.zip
and my unzip(1) program said
You may need to download the file again. (I've downloaded it last year
and it works)
funny thingthe faulty operations I described can
be fixed by pressing
shift-d , that is regular 'd' generates the bad "ye" and 'shift-d'
generates the
correct version...
This is the Arabic "ye" which you see using shift-d. I don't know about
the Roya font you have, but I have one without any problem with Persain
"ye".
Anyway, your problem may be fixed by removing that unusable ugly fonts
in /usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts: 9x15.pcf, 9x15b.pcf and another one
which I think it's name was 10x*.pcf (I don't remember the * part, but
it looks like that there is only one font starting with 10x). (Removing
these files is the first thing I do after installing a Fedora version
on a system).
Finally, if you want more fonts than farsiweb fonts; I recommend using
free B* fonts such as B Roya.
I have done this before on FC2 and FC4 in KDEthis is
my new FC4 box
which I had to switch to gnome because the alt-shift keyboard switching
was'nt
working on KDE...anyway, I should'nt polute the problem...
I don't know about your problem, but I always prefer to change X
configuration file for Persian typing support. With this, you don't
need to set it up for each user and for each desktop system. It works
everywhere! It is very easy too: open the X config file
(/etc/X11/xorg.conf in Fedora) as root and find this line:
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Then, replace this line with these lines:
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ir"
Option "XkbOptions"
"grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:win_switch,grp_led:scroll"
Save this file and restart the X window system. After this, you should
be able to switch between Persian and English with Alt+Shift, or
switching temporary by holding Win key (only left one in FC4); and the
scroll lock LED will be on when you can type in Persian.
Good Luck,
Hedayat
Thanks guys...

Hi
I am having some problems with my Farsi fonts on my browser and in
gedit
on a Linux box (Fedor Core 4, Gnome )
My problem is
Letter "Ye" is always rendered as though it was an independent or
detatched letter. For example, in the word "MILI" (as in
mili-second) all
the
"Ye" letters are rendered as it would with "MEHDI" where "ye" is
not
connected to "de".
Basically, you don't have good fonts, and that's the default on
FC4 unfortunately :(. You need to install the FarsiWeb fonts
package (available from
http://farsiweb.info/) to start with.
There is a fontconfig configuration file like this one:

This will be included in fontconfig-2.4 release coming soon.
Some help is appreciated.
Thanks
