Dear friends, This is my pleasure to share with you my feelings about the patches that Owen has applied to pango CVS in the recent days. Among many other great patches are two patches of special interest of Arabeyes and PersianComputing communities: Bug #70451 Automatic paragraph direction according to Unicode BiDi algorithm http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70451 and But #117282 Pango can't render Arabic accents http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117282 So now it means that: * Pango can correctly render Arabic harakats * Pango can detect the paragraph direction on the fly. Have a look at the attached screenshot from gedit, became possible with the CVS version of glib, pango, and gtk+. Persian font is courtesy of the FarsiWeb Project. Thanks Owen, behdad
