Thanks, thatâs very helpful.
Sorry I disappeared for a few months, but I'm back working on Gtk.
I just updated the code to use pango_itemize, which should handle RTL
languages better. The characters seem to be in the right order but
the words are not. XEmacs-gtk display now matches gedit for Arabic
and Persian. They don't match FSF emacs display, but I think the
pango is correct. (Firefox and IE agree with pango)
Editing RTL is wrong, just moving the cursor through the string makes
the characters dance.
