That's an Iranian national standard, ISIRI 2901:1994. The standard is named something like "Keyboard layout for Farsi: Characters for Computer", but also works for writing Arabic also (which is usually needed as quotes in Persian texts). > When you buy a typical computer, what kind of keyboard comes with it? Most keyboards come with a very archaic ISIRI 2901:1989 layout printed on the keys, which is not implememtable easily, since it is a two-symbol keyboard: you type "g" for initial and medial "Lam" and "shift-G" for final and isolated "Lam". roozbeh _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
