Basil:
I hadn't added Farsi to the available languages in the Accessibility / Country - Region and
Language.
I just tried doing that and as soon as I added it, the messages in the control center switched to
Farsi, with blocks representing the absense of a font to display those characters.
I did the grepping you suggested in my font directories and came up with nothing.
I take it my main problem at this point is not having those fonts.
What does ISO 8859-6 refer to / designate, BTW?
Thanks for your help!
