Hi Peter,
The work I did with Tcl/Tk about a year ago resulted in set of
bindings for the text widget to work in what I have recently called
reflected mode. It was somehow a proof of concept that it is possible
to coerce a left-to-right text widget to do right-to-left text just by
altering its bindings. I have since dropped the project and am no
longer doing any changes to it. I don't think that what I did is good
enough quality or interesting enough to be put in the TclTk
distribution. What really should be done, is to make Tk use my FriBidi
library to do real BiDi algorithms. I'm not very likely to do this
in the near future, but if someone else would like to give it a try
I'll be happy to give my assistance.
