It should display Arabic correct (mostly, but the word Allah for instance isn't displayed correctly yet). On the other hand, full interface mirroring and text block alignments are not yet supported. > > I was trying to e-mail Tom, who submitted those Arabic patches, > about this but his e-mail bounced back. > I'm this Tom, and I'm alive and kicking, feel free to contact me at any time. > > Does anyone know if the Arabic support needs any more work, or > if it might work to some degree already? > Arabic support does need more work, but as I said, it's fully functional. I'm an Hebrew speaker myself, I have know nothing about Arabic, I just compared texts from wikipedia to my renderings (with very little help from an Arabic friend of mine). I use EFL with Hebrew on a day to day basis, it's very usable, but again, final touches are missing, and I think Arabic should be the same. I think I will start working on full RTL (Hebrew, Arabic, Persian and etc) support for enlightenment starting next week, I will have more info then, ask me in a week to know my status if you are interested. If you have any more questions, please let me know. But to sum things up: Arabic support is basic now and I hope to vastly improve it soon. -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
