[Kde-i18n-fa] Instructions

[Ali Naddaf]

Aryan,

Happy New Year.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response. I followed your instructions and yet I 
have some difficulties. When I use the persian keyboard layout, I don't see 
the persian characters but I only see empty rectangles in, say KEdit. I don't 
have much experience with fonts so I hesitate to draw any conclusion but it 
seems that it cannot find the persian fonts, even after setting my fonts to 
Arial Unicode MS. Anyhow, if you or other folks on the mailing list have any 
suggestion, I would appreciate it.

With regards,
Ali.

P.S. Aryan, I will send you a private email about what I am interested in and 
possibly helping this community if I can.
