Bidi and contextual shaping.

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.) -- ¿Dónde estará ahora mi sobrino Yoghurtu Nghé, que tuvo que huir precipitadamente de la aldea por culpa de la escasez de rinocerontes? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
