Yeah, it's pretty unusable. For ebrew it's just mirrored. For Arabic it also lacks shaping. I have solutions for them if we really want to fix them, but the solution needs: 1) Switch to a new font for Arabic as a full Arabic font needs over a hundred glyphs. I have a good font for it, in the BiCon package mentioned below, 2) Needs to run a filter on top of the console. That can easily be done in rc. The code for it is mostly available already, in a package called BiCon. Search for "BiCon Arabeyes". Though I need to rewrite some parts of it to use the new features in fribidi2. In the end, it's fribidi (already in fedora) plus a small 500-line script-like utility to pass everything through. If there is enough interest, I can look into this. > Should we leave it this way, or do the same substitution to en_US that > we do for CJK locales? In the short term (F10...), this makes perfect sense. behdad > Bill > -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
