The Linux console may never get proper RTL support; decent Arabic support on the console would be hard to impossible given console font limitations. Complex scripts are going to need X support; at the very least, you're going to need to run in an Xterm or the like, since Linux console is probably always going to be LTR, single width, and non-combining. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org When the aliens come, when the deathrays hum, when the bombers bomb, we'll still be freakin' friends. - "Freakin' Friends"
