Hi, About feasible, I don't really know, since I didn't see the code. I will ask (maybe someone else in the development team there _is_ familiar with linux).
As for worth the effort, I find hebrew support in the existing processors quite unsatisfactory. In fact, last time I checked (KDE 3.0.2 and koffice about two months ago, and openoffice with some hebrew patch), it was even worse than M$ word, which is a nightmare by itself. Perhaps I missed something or maybe things have drastically improved since then, but otherwise I believe QText would be a big improvement. I agree it isn't worth rewriting the whole thing, but maybe it can be ported with some minor changes. Moshe PS is it just me, or does everyone get all the recent mails twice? * Dvir Volk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [020924 11:56]: > do you think trhat porting QText to Linux is really feasible and worth the effort? > > i agree that the bidi support there was excellent, and i used to work with qtext for >years, but qt's bidi support has become pretty mature, and i'm not sure if it's worth >the effort of porting MFC or whatever windows code to linux, or if that won't mean >rewriting the whole thing from scratch, practically. > > btw, the name, at least, is already linux-ready: it QText sounds perfect for a QT >app :) > > Dvir Volk > Editor in Chief > Nana by NetVision > _________________________________________________________________________________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Tel: 03-5652585 | Fax:03-6241952 | >http://www.netvision.net.il http://www.nana.co.il > NetVision LTD.
