Windows 2000 and Windows XP both use U+06CC in their 'Farsi' keyboard layouts. I don't know about current versions of Mac OS (which has a keyboard named 'Persian'), but Panther (Mac OS 10.3) will include a Persian keyboard layout based on ISIRI 2901:1994. > To my knowledge, most Farsi fonts don't have real Farsi Yeh.

But this is something that is being fixed everywhere, although not quickly. roozbeh ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

In MS Windows, the default "Farsi" keyboard has correct "FARSI YEH", and also other replacment o experimental ones. But old Microsoft's Fonts have problems with "FARSI YEH", that it's going to be corrected in new versions. In RedHat Linux, the keyboard and fonts, and other 3th party's fonts like Gnome are all correct in this field. You can use Microsoft Office 2003 and it's updated fonts to see this as you like! ;) -- Behnam Esfahbod ..[ http://esfahbod.info | behnam(a)esfahbod.info ] ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

To my knowledge, most Farsi fonts don't have real Farsi Yeh. Some do, but it's actually not being used by current Farsi keyboards on either platforms.
