message: I can't see the original characters either with Google Chrome or IE7. Is there a trick so that the original characters are visible? Or maybe the special characters can be shown as images, since I would expect modern browsers might have some difficulty rendering scripts that are no longer used.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.51.1.160 (talk) 02:02, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I have a problem pretty similar to that of the user above. I've downloaded and installed the fonts that are linked to first under "External links" but could not get them to display in the article after restarting. Where are the fonts used on this page to be found? I'm grateful for any help. Trigaranus (talk) 14:22, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

message: From the article:
:Scholars today mostly agree that the Old Persian script was invented
Am I correct in reading this as ‘most scholars think this script was designed by a person, or small group of people, rather than grown over time or descended from a parent system’?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 18:07, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

message: "The consonant symbols that depend on the following vowel act like the consonants in Devanagari. Vowel diacritics are added to these consonant symbols to change the inherent vowel or add length to the inherent vowel." 
I suspect that this is some kind of misunderstanding or unintentionally misleading reformulation - the cited source (Daniels) should be checked. The second sentence is true of Devanagari, but I don't see how it is true of Old Persian cuneiform. There is no systematic similarity between signs for different consonants with the same vowel (indicating the existence of a 'vowel diacritic'), nor between signs for the same consonants with a different vowel. This is just a set of unrelated, arbitrary signs for each consonant-vowel combination, as in a pure syllabary (except for the signs that don't depend on the vowel, obviously), so it doesn't work like Devanagari at all. Or perhaps what is meant by 'vowel diacritic' are the vowel signs added after the consonantal ones, but they are separate signs and aren't united graphically with the signs they precede in any way, and, again, the difference between the preceding consonantal 'elements' that remain when you remove the vowel 'diacritic' has no counterpart in Devanagari. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 10:09, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
