LaserJawi for Windows
Type Jawi, Arabic and Persian (Farsi) in US Windows! Four professional-quality Type 1 and TrueType® English system fonts for typing Jawi, along with four corresponding fonts for Arabic and Persian (Farsi), for use in all standard US Windows applications. Input is left-to-right (reverse order) for compatibility with US Windows. Does not contextualize letter forms, but Keyboard Switcher Windows utility normally types the medial forms and provides simple, intuitive access to initial, final, and isolated forms of every character. Includes a Word for Windows template for easy right to left input (one line at a time*) in the US (English) version of Word for Windows.

The fonts install into Microsoft® Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, 95, or 3.1x and work with all Windows XP-, 2000-, NT-, Me-, 98-, 95- and 3.1x-compatible applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. The Type 1 fonts require Adobe Type Manager® in Windows Me/98/95/3.1. The product includes a User's Manual, keyboard layout chart(s), and Character Code Tables showing every character in the font(s). The included Keyboard Switcher (keyboard driver) allows access to four characters per key (instead of the normal two) and alternate keyboard layouts. The fonts alone (without Keyboard Switcher) will install into Linux, but Linux users must provide alternate keyboard input for characters in the extended character set. These fonts will print to any printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.

* The Word for Windows right to left template does not overcome all the limitations of working in the English (left-to-right) Windows environment. The user must still be careful about word wrap at the right end of each line, and have a carriage return at the end of each complete line of Jawi (or Arabic or Persian) text to prevent the right-most word (the first word in a Jawi, Arabic or Persian sentence) from wrapping to the next line. The Word right to left template does, however, provide an easy way to type Jawi, Arabic or Persian as if you were typing in a right to left environment, while still using your English application, and is ideal for typing short amounts of text.
