<div><br></div><div>1) why do you slant Arabic script to the right??? It's like slanting Latin script to the left, which is quite ugly</div></div></blockquote><div><br>That is just the font. I had nothing to do with it. The author of the font fortunately decided to slant Arabic script to right.<br>

</div></blockquote><div><br>In Persian there is a difference between a dot and a zero otherwise in maths one would mix them. It is said that zero in Persian should appear as a samll circle.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
