Re: UTF-8 readable text editor?



Though I use KDE, Gedit is my preffered editor for arabic. Kate and
Kwrite are buggy. Kedit shows the text correctly but doesn't support
Gedit's features. If you want something more cross-platform you can
try yudit. It's good editor especially for Bidi texts but the UI is
not that cool.
