Hello, (You may received this mail twice....) From: Anmar Oueja <anmar at canada dot com> Subject: [Libtextwrap-devel] BIDI support Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2004 11:16:13 -0800 > My name is Anmar Oueja. I am a member of an online community that works > on improving Linux support for the Arabic language. (www.arabeyes.org) I know some members from Arabeyes Project since I am one of developers of mlterm. > One of the projects we are working on is translating the new debian > installer to arabic. Unfortunately, the problem comes when we display > the arabic text. I am also a Debian developer. > Since libtextwrap is one pipe all text is passed through, how feasable > is it to add bidi support (using fribidi.sf.net library) libtextwrap is not aware of bidi. I don't know what is needed. Since libtextwrap just finds a place to insert linefeed, I imagine nothing is needed for libtextwrap, while text-windowing library (slang?) will have to deal with bidi. Anyway, if libtextwrap itself needs bidi support, I will need help. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <kubota at debian dot org> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
