Farsi Grade 1 (ar-fa.utb) is deprecated and should be removed from NVDA list of tables.
I Provided a new table for Grade 1 instead. I called it "Persian Grade 1". The table's filename is "fa-ir-g1.utb".
I also provided an 8-dot computer braille table for Persian for the first time; called "Persian 8-dot computer braille". The table filename is "fa-ir-comp8.ctb".
Of course, both of these tables are uncontracted.

can you provide links to these tables, and, or, are they already in libLouis? cc @jcsteh

See also liblouis/liblouis#208.

Two questions:

  1. Are these tables complete and ready for inclusion in NVDA, or do you need to test them further as suggested in Requesting an NVDA snapshot with new Persian tables embedded. #6733?
  2. Do these tables implement an official braille standard or code? Is there consensus that the old table (ar-fa.utb) should be removed? Could you provide a brief summary of what you changed/improved?

I downloaded the Next_14168 and saw the mentioned tables. Thanks all of you NV Access! I hope Persian users could benefit from these new tables. Let me close this issue. Again, Thanks and
VIVA NVDA!

This should remain open until this is merged into master. Thanks for testing.
