I was talking with nadim about making it a separate executable but it'll depend on pangoft2 and freetype. "I can't get rid of pango as I didn't find enough resources about postscript especially with Arabic." gtk & glib: I'm sure that gtk and glib 1.x can be patched to correctly handle Arabic, But is this really required ?? Gtk 2.x are alright. terminal emulator: mlterm is Ok for now. More than Ok actually. XFree86 itself: I don't really know, I neither have the time nor do I have resources to do anything with X! Fonts: I think that kacst fonts are not that bad. We still need fonts. On screen keyboard: I remember Nadim saying No ? ;-) -- ---------------- -- Katoob Main Developer Linux registered user # 224950 ICQ # 58475622 FIRST make it run, THEN make it run fast "Brian Kernighan". -- Don't send me any attachment in Micro$oft (.DOC, .PPT) format please Read http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html Preferable attachments: .PDF, .HTML, .TXT Thanx for adding this text to Your signature
