Re: bidi in mozilla (fwd)



That is the exact thing that was screwed up on Mozilla's bidi support.
They have reversed the order of the character display, but not the actual
placing of the words.
I think maybe that has something to do with the Windows support for bidi,
because on Windows you get iso-8859-8 encodings correctly.
