Persian dasher!
Professor David MacKay and I spent three hours today and with the small corpus that I compiled last night, we made the most gorgeous alphabet support of
dasher for Persian. The outcome is unbelievably handy and I'm indefinitely excited. Shots and shoots ahead:



(Free Software for a Free World)

(Part of the alphabet at the beginning of the sentence.)

(Peace and Freedom...)

(Red Cross [already selected] of Canada [predicted])
And the one shoot is
here. Unfortunately the current version of dasher does a too heavy X I/O, so the shoot through VNC doesn't come out good, no matter what I set for the delays. But I've slowed down quite a lot so you can figure out what's going on.
Rock!
