Dear all, My name is Ozair and am from Pakistan. I have recently joined this list. I have been involved in implementing Urdu in a project for the government of Pakistan. The choice was Unicode, we faced many difficulties, which included, the transportability of the joining rules between different characters and the existence of certain ligature in Unicode. However we overcame this aspect and implemented Urdu at database level. I am currently observing the topics of discussion and would at a later date add my input to it. I would appreciate if you some (or all) of you could send me your introductions at my personal address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as we do not want this forum to be cluttered with Hello Mails. Regards, M. Ozair Rasheed
