Hi, I am doing an MA in Typeface Design at the University of Reading, UK. For my final practical project I am going to design an Arabic/Latin script font couple. Among other things I am researching, I'd like to explore the visual differences between written Arabic and written Farsi. To do this I need to look at linguistic frequencies of letters in both languages - data from this comparison could likely influence my design decisions since I am going to design a typeface that should be particularly suited for Farsi texts. I stumbled across this project and liked it a lot. I also found the wordlist, but since I am not really a computer geek I dont know how to deal with those files. I'd be very grateful if I could get the Arabic word-database in plain text, ideally Unicode formatted.
kind regards, Titus _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
