Fribidi and shaping

[Anmar Oueja <anmar at canada dot com>]

Hello Behdad:

I am very glad you are finally doing the shaping patch. I  have been 
jumping through hoops and all trying to constantly explain the need for 
seperate shaping code in addition to Fribidi.

Thanks for getting back on it and getting it done. can you commit to a 
certain date as I need to know so I can coordinate that with the debian 
installer people ? if you can't how about a week of june ?

What impact the shaping code will have on projects that use fribidi and 
implement their own shaping code ?

Let us have that discussion so people are aware of the changes to fribidi.

Thanks

Anmar
