Bidi and contextual shaping.
16 years, 10 months
Aidan Kehoe
We already support them, at least to the extent necessary to get work
done. You’ll need a terminal emulator with support for the features--PuTTY
and mlterm work for this--a font with sufficient coverage (see DejaVu Sans
Mono for Arabic and Persian) and a UTF-8 locale. Then gnuclient -nw will
give you a frame where you can paste bidi text and it’ll get displayed
correctly, or use the input methods from leim/quail/arabic.el in the
emacs-bidi distribution at http://www.m17n.org/emacs-bidi/index.html .
Tested with Persian.
(No, this isn’t a substitute for support in the window system. But it’s
something.)

Does the old Tramp syntax disappear when unified file names are used?
Is there a way to keep both?

I'm sorry this has caught you, and I wish there were a better
solution. Unfortunately, Debian's policies concerning this kind of
stuff are a compromise, and in this kind of case they don't work very
well with XEmacs.
I'll try to remember to put "sync flyspell" on the TODO list. Doesn't
mean it will get done, but you could contribute (given your evaluation
that the XEmacs packaged version works "perfectly" I don't suppose
there's much benefit to you, so don't feel oliged :-), and somebody
will do it eventually.

Well ... great! Would you mind trying my patch again, then? For
convenience, here it is:

/* don't check errors here -- best not to risk file descriptor loss */
return Lstream_flush (lstr);
If the hangs return, then we can try the approach of figuring out what
data is getting lost here and where it was supposed to go.

Sorry to be a pest and ask for clarification of the double negative: The
old Tramp syntax stays around, even when unified file names are used,
right?

We can do that.

But that's "somebody's" problem, so I see that as no serious obstacle.

Should auto-create .xemacs directory on first run on Microsoft Windows
16 years, 10 months
Nick Crabtree
Hi,
On a fresh installation on Windows, the "Save Options to Custom File"
menu option fails. (InnoSetup installation of 21.4.21). I went Options
-> Display -> Buffers Tab Visible (because I don't like them), and
then Options -> Save Options to Custom File - and it failed.
*Message-Log*:
Loading cus-edit...
Loading customization dependencies...
Loading customization dependencies...done
Loading cus-edit...done
Loading efs-cu...
Loading efs-cu...done
(New file)
Opening output file: No such file or directory, c:\Documents and
Settings\Nick\.xemacs\custom.el
... of course, creating the .xemacs directory by hand solves the
issue. However, for a Windows user trying out what is reputed to be a
better text editor than Wordpad, this would be instantly discouraging
...
