I still have the mail we exchanged, and can dig out the details. IIRC, you were worried about the performance hit: the code as written in the display engine part required to disable all the optimizations and shortcuts that exist for the left-to-right languages, and you felt this would hamper redisplay performance even in the simplest cases, like cursor motion and insertion of a single character. _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
