Essentially what I would like to do is type vocabulary lists of both Arabic and Persian in something like a spread sheet. Unfortunately, on a Macintosh, this is quite difficult to do.
I tried out the latest and greatest MS OFfice 2011 on the Mac OS X, and still, it does not support the script. Simply put, Microsoft does not support the complete Unicode standard in regards to Arabic/Persian scripts.
What does this mean for Mac users? Well, unfortunately, we'll have to resort to running Windows with something like Parrallels. For my vocabulary lists, I can use Excel from Office 2010 in this virtual environment.
