Yes, it more or less core dumps on me when a new xterm with some arabic text that you sent (or any its substring) is launched or when it is moved. I simply used some random "*-iso10646-1" font, not the one you sent. I use fribidi-0.10.1 which does not have fribidi_boolean definition. Although if you take a look at my "#if 0" it would seem like the problem is in your code, it is possible that the problem is in FBidi.c or fribidi. Something is not allocated enough. I tried to increase all allocations in FBidi and replace alloca, but it still core dumps with your code enabled. Since your code simply replaces some characters, the only reason I may think about is you use some unicode character that makes fribidi unhappy. I may take a look at this later. Or maybe you may fix it yourself. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
