Specifics of Persian DTP

The way you document looks like is influenced not only by its contents, but also by the specifics of the writing system used. The Persian language employs the Arabic Persian abjad. See further how it may influence the layout of your materials.

Text spacing

Persian letters are generally written in cursive, this is, letters in a word are joined. Even more so, the shapes of the letters may change depending on what letters are around them. Because of this, it is not advised to use in-word letter spacing in Persian DTP. It will probably look unnatural, or even incomprehensible.

Capital or uppercase letters are not used i.e. the script is not case sensitive. It is thus advisable to not rely on uppercase too much. While making a particular part of the text just bigger will have a similar effect, it will not change the form of the letters.

Appearance

Persian Arabic letters traditionally do not use italics. There usually are just a few fonts that support designated italics, as there is no tradition of using them in the language. Slanting the text is always possible, but this may look unnatural, and so is not recommended.

The language is written in the right-to-left fashion. If the original text was in a language with the opposite writing direction, the overall layout should be mirrored in the process of desktop publishing.

The average word length in Persian is 5 letters, which is 2 characters shorter than the average of all the languages. It is probable that your text will be able to contract and expand with much more flexibility. This applies to both dimensions, vertical and horizontal.
