Subject:Apple problems with Persian query

Dear list members,

What a disappointment! When I got a new Apple computer - and not even
the very newest one - the screen commented my attempts to install the
Persian script, which I had used before: ‘This script cannot be used on
this computer’. My local Apple dealer as a matter of fact had no clue.
The problem seems tro exist with all newer Apple computers. With Arabic
everything goes smoothly. One can write Persian with an Arabic font, but
it has disadvantages: different keyboard, non-Persian appearance etc.
Does anybody know what can be done about this?

Best wishes,
Wim Raven
