Speaking of Windows, I have heard unsubstantiated reports that even with WinXP, the "yeh" (06CC--on the "d" key) works great in some editing programs such as Word but even on the same computer, fails to work in other programs. Again, I have not verified that this is the case but I'm not surprised by anything concerning the Yeh anymore.
Also, it's true that the fonts have been corrected concerning the yeh. However, the people in the Microsoft Typography dept who have removed the free font downloads don't seem to know that there is no way to legally obtain the corrected fonts (unless they "upgrade".) > The solution is very simple.

Just curious: What if you are searching for an Arabic word but you are inputting your search in FA mode (maybe you are more familiar with the keyboard layout, etc.) Since some of the yeh forms in Arabic and Persian are identical (in appearance) but have different unicode values, will this not adversely affect your search? -Connie _______________________________________________ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
