Actually, I ran into an example where it seems to make a difference: I use my modified bidi xterm (I took xterm-156 from mandrake 8.1, that also had the i18n patch applied, My modification was to run fribidi_log2vis with the base direction NEUTRAL (instead of LTR). However, numbers can cause a strange behaviour: # What I write: $ echo 1 [2] # What I get in the xterm (visual) 2] 1] All of the characters are ASCII characters. The reason I use NEUTRAL instead of LTR is because it makes more sense for most uses. Otherwise I can't read long mainly-hebrew texts properly. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
