FriBidi is a library implementing the Unicode Bidirectional text algorithms.
Two packages will be created, the runtime library and the development one, libfribidi0 and libfribidi-dev. The license is GNU LGPL version 2. For more information: http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/freesw/FriBidi PS. I know almost nothing about bidirectional text. I just want to hack the GTK+ development version, which requires this library. (I'm interested in the i18n aspects of the next GTK+, but not much in the bidirectional text.) So if a developer knows this issue better than me and he/she want to take it, I'll pass this to him/her with pleasure.
