Re: Bidi support for Linux





I have not given much thought to the choice of a word processor to work
upon.  Bidizing a non-trivial word processor is a multi-month project, and
I don't think we will start with this.  I even doubt that we will address
it ever.

If HTML format is good enough for your needs, the composer in Mozilla is a
possible solution.  At least this is a non-proprietary format.

Thanks, very nice of you. I must admit I didn't follow this thread
close enough, and a part of it was on ivrix I guess, so a couple
of quick comments with question marks:

>      Word processor

Word-compatible?

>      Emacs

Within the mule framework? Both GNU Emacs and XEmacs?

Good luck,
