Q.
What will be in the feature versions
of Farsido?
A.
I am currently working on fixing the bugs, a more
user-friendly Persian interface and an online version of the program
which you can use without downloading software, except the Java
Run-time environment.
Q.
How to I install Farsido and Run
it?
A.
Download Farsido and open the zip file. There is
no configuration required. You can double-click on Farsido.jar and if
you have the JRE installed correctly the program will run. If did not
run try run.bat and if it didn't work either you should download and
install the Java
Runtime Environment.
Q.
Does Farsido 3.33 Release Candidate
come with fonts?
A.
No, but you can get many free fonts on the web.

detailed list.
Q.
How can I convert to Unicode?
A.
Save the original text is a normal text file (In
Vazhe Negar you should chose "Generic" when saving) and
then open that file with Farsido. When the Conversion dialog opens,
choose the appropriate System. Now you can either use Save As to save
the Unicode text or simply paste it in other programs. Farsido has
many conversions but Farsi conversions (Vazhe Negar and Iran System)
are at the top.
Q.
How can I convert from Unicode?
A.
Type or paste your text in Farsido and then click
Save. When the Conversion dialog opens, choose the appropriate
System. Farsido has many conversions but Farsi conversions (Vazhe
Negar and Iran System) are at the top. You can open the file you
saved with the appropriate program. Note: You
will have problems when you open the resulting text file in Vazhe
Negar. You should open the file separately it and paste it in Vazhe
Negar.
Q.
ٌWhy
can't I convert bilingual text to and from Vazhe Negar?
A.
Vazhe Negar has an incorrect system that has used
English characters for Farsi characters and there is no way to figure
which is which.
