Hi,
This is question for Vafa: can you explain what is the reason that in .pdf

because bidi has done absolutely noting in the creation of the pdf-file from
this minimal text, but claims it:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bidi,xltxtra}
\setmainfont{STFangsong}

ok. That is fine. I am totally convinced.
I can add an option, say "creator" that writes bidi as the creator of the
PDF file and otherwise does nothing.
But please note that when bidi writes itself as the creator of the PDF file,
it provides some useful information such as version and revision num

How is this confusing, it is quite straight forward. I prefer a formal bug
report please.

1. first register at http://developer.berlios.de/account/register.php
2. go to http://developer.berlios.de/projects/bidi/ and ckick on "Mantis
Bugs" on the top menu.
3. click on login and log in.
4. click on "Report issue" and simply report the bug.

Not to fuel fire or anything, but this package (which I don't yet use) sounds
like one I should likely consider, so some clarification would help:
No, you're not interested, or no, you're not looking for a new maintainer?
These seem mutually exclusive to me.
Thanks!

I assume that it would take the maintainer about 10 seconds to apply this
very simple step, certainly not longer than it took François Charette to
correct the orthography of the name Vafa, and certainly not longer than
explaining in email-exchanges how to file a bug report... that's what is
