Abstract :

Thinkers have always considered the human development as a consequence of the invention of alphabet and writing system. At present time computer fonts are the main bases of digital texts which for sure will result in a modern civilization. Unfortunately the Persian language has remained obsolete in this regard in the age of computer technology in spite of a proud history. There are only a few standard fonts available for use in the internet. The present article tries to find solutions for this straitened circumstance through introduction of Unicode fonts according to the standards of the Institute of industrial research and comparing them with popular fonts and discussing their weaknesses.
