[seqfan] Re: Trouble with OEIS Farsi page?

[Neil Sloane]

Thanks to everyone who ran a test for me.

Here is the result.

There is no problem loading any of the versions
of the OEIS in different languages, EXCEPT if
you are running Google Chrome 24... or 25.... from a Mac computer.
Then Farsi does not load.

This is the third problem I've had with Chrome in recent months
(the other problems were delays in loading pdf files from the OEIS, and
its rejection of the m4a format for audio files)
