To be frank I think that's Debians problem, or to more accurate the problem of those who insist on using apt-get for everything. If WineHQ provides high quality tested binaries with ICU included, they can use that if they want BiDi. There will *always* be random distros that have packaging policy that conflicts with Wine, I don't think we should let that dictate our choice of libraries. If we switch to FriBiDi maybe that fixes the Debian case but breaks the Mandrake case, or whatever. thanks -mike
