I do not get Persian numbers even in IE 8. What is the font name needed for this? Where can we download the TTF file? Is there anything Persian specific to that must be set in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Advanced ?

You just need to enable locale persian/farsi support on your windows. Try :


For windows 7 :
Start -> Control panel -> Region and language -> Formats -> Format:Persian

For windows XP
Start -> Control panel -> Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options -> Regional and language Options
1-Tab2 (Languages) -> mark the "install files for complex script and right-to-left languages
2-Click on Apply
3-Tab1 (Formats) -> Farsi


Then restart your pc and try again !

I could reproduce the issue on the latest Nightly:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110720 Firefox/8.0a1

I changed the format to Persian (steps in Comment 2) and when I input numbers in the example page http://64.191.99.143/permalink/input.html I got the decimal instead of the specific ones.
This issue is reproducible on Fx and Chrome and works with IE.
