Ar an t-ochtú lá de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull:
Basically what happened at the M17N conference was that Karni made
it
plain that he had no interest whatsoever in working with XEmacs (I
don't recall any hostility, just he was happy enough with Emacs and
didn't feel like exerting any effort to work on portablity), so we
would have had to do it all ourselves. At that time Eli Z didn't
really care if Emacs got bidi (he was using some other editor for
that). And we had other issues to worry about, so it got shelved for
a while.
Well, the nice thing about it being 2005 and not 2000 is that there’s a
good, GPLed, Unicode-conformant BiDi implementation out there.
http://fribidi.sf.net/ . So it might be relatively easy to implement today.
I still have the R2L ASCII charset and the r2l and l2r faces I
played
with back then around somewhere. :-)
Some of its features were committed, and they’re confusing when you come
across them without that context. :-) .
