Hi all,

fribidi2 works fine, i made it tonight, it seems to be a cleaner and easier 
solution but the bad news that i built it using a CVS version, i'll do more 
search to figure out the its state.
it solves both RTL and character shaping, now we have 2 solution 

1 - SDL_Pango have trouble with MAC.
2 - fribidi2 not released yet. 

2 good solution 

here is the version i used

:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/fribidi co fribidi2



Best regards,
Ahmed Sayed

Yeah, that's understood. If we go this path, I'd want to establish a
pretty small API for text-drawing-systems. The only operations we seem
to need are:

- Init/cleanup the font system
- Load a font
- Draw styled text as a DrawableSurface

We could then have each implementation in separate files, lessening
the chances of accidental breakage.

Before doing anything though, we should probably talk to the SDL_Pango
maintainers and find out what they think! I'm sure they have ideas for
the best way to get text working on multiple OSes.
