Modified files: usr.bin/less : charset.c cmdbuf.c funcs.h less.1 Log message: Delete what remains of the support for combining characters into ligatures: it was incomplete (only for the Arabic script and only for the single ligature LAM WITH ALEF) and it was implemented in a way that is unsustainable (with a static table inside less). If we ever want ligature support, we are better off making a fresh start. However, for languages like Arabic and Persian, even that wouldn't really be useful without having bidirectional support first. OK millert@ (and also considering comments from Mohammadreza Abdollahzadeh, Evan Silberman, and benno@)
