I have a project where i have to use a fingerprint scanner to register workers attendance
i need to display the worker name on a screen for the worker to read and be sure that his fingerprint wase read right
I need a library to print Arabic Names on the (16*2) LCd or Nokia 5110 display
i understand the idea of mapping arabic letters to pixels and preparing the values to be sent to the display , but if a library exists then it is better than making all that work over again.
thank you for help
Thank you David but there is another problem , I am basically a visual basic 6 programmer i just right the words and "Msgbox" displays it on screen i tried to understand how to make a UTF8 string buti couldn't
all i want is to print "مرحبا " and a worker's name on the screen.
thank you.
I presume that your "writing rules" will alter with which letters are next to each other.
Exactly like cursive Latin hand-writing.
With formal letter-type we just accept separate letters. The only exception is "ae" which sometimes appears as a single joined-up letter.
Arabic Writing rules are complicated , the morphology of a letter totally differs if it is in the middle of a word
than if in the end , you can notice that in the third letter from right
"ح" versus "مرحبا" it looses the bowed tail to connect with the succeeding letter "ا"
edit : sorry the succeeding letter is "ب"
