Well, I thought I was done with the Weft demo page,
http://students.washington.edu/irina/persianword/weft.htm and could now
catch up on my non-computing activities. Picked up reading Jamalzadeh's
"Dar al-Majanin" where I'd left off months ago. What did I run into after

Hi,
Is there any statistics about the percentage of users who have no
problem reading Farsi Yeh and Keh? If not, I wonder if someone can set

Thanks, everyone for the WEFT feedback. I feel better now having
investigated the WEFT option. I also reported our findings to the
developers. Looks like they are not getting much feedback for Persian.

With Win2000, results

Hello,
No, I did not have any additional fonts on my machine: the machine was re-installed 2

On Sat,
Masoud,
Thank you so much for the time you took to make the exhibits!
Exhibits A and C are a little depressing to look at but that's ok.
Concerning exhibit B (the Koodak font) I have a question: did you already
have the Koodak font on your computer? Did you uninstall it first?
That will be some goo

Hi,
IE6.0 on Win2K: OK
Mozilla1.7RC1 on Win2K: OK (but the font of Arabic typesetting is very big!)

Hi Connie,
On Konqueror 3.2.0 on KDE 3.2.0 all is fine except "h" and "z" in Hafiz
