Hi all,
Recently I have done some work on a new library called Farsi, it's
just some wrappers around fribidi now, but is growing.
Currently it sits between your terminal and applicaton, and simulates
a bidi terminal, the output is really interesting.
Some points:
-Just works with utf-8, but easily you can edit the iconv calls, to
change the character set.
-It contains a persian (arabic) .psf font with 512 glyphs for console,
and a persian keyboard driver for console, you should replace it with
hebrew ones, send GPL ones to me to include too.
-I use it with lynx, it's a great success, just set your display's
character set to utf-8 in lynx.
-You need fribidi installed on your machine, get the CVS version (or
the buggy 0.9.0 release) from http://www.sf.net/projects/fribidi
-Have a look at too scripts 'farsi' and 'lookup' to get the idea.
-Is it useful for you in any way? Feedback please.
Yours,
