Subject: Persian transliteration



Dear HUMANISTs,

A colleague here at Oxford is looking for a package for
transliteration of Persian words into Roman characters, preferably for the
PC. If there aren't any such packages for the PC, Mac information would
also be appreciated. Any suggestions? Please reply to the
GRAZYNA@VAX.OX.AC.UK and not to me.

If you know of an interest list in Persian, or of any place that
might have a Persian font, that would also be useful. Thanks very much!

Yours,

Simon Rakov
