History of Persian Desktop Publishing

Most of the technology developed for Persian language in the computing environments are built on top of the existing ones in the publishing industry and some of these were directly engineered for the desktop publishing market. Examples of such technologies are the non-standard text encoding schemas and the special typesetting tools for calligraphic and Koranic features. In this project, we are trying to document the history of these developments.
