Re: Yudit text editor

[Hicham Amaoui <amaoui at altern dot org>]

Hello,
I've tested yudit sometime ago and I can tell you it doesn't support
arabic very well because of the algorithm used which is not compatible
with the Unicode one. It add two CHARS when you switch to RTL:
U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE and U+202C POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING

I personally use acon with the iso encoding then transform the file to 
utf-8 with iconv:
iconv --from-code=ISO_8859-6 --to-code=UTF-8  file.po -o fileutf-8.po

Regards.
