The README file is included below:
Enjoy!
----------
gtkbiditext is a port of the gtk 1.2.4 text widget to support bidi for
Hebrew. The conversion was done brute force where the only motto being
"anything goes". Considering this rule, the widget is suprisingly
functional, with the following features:
* Always shows correct text according to the bidi algorithm.
* Rewraps the text correctly if the widget size is changed.
* Shows correct visual selection corresponding to a logical
continous range and allows to copy.
* Language direction and keyboard mapping is done through Alt-LShift
and Alt-Rshift.
* Logical cursor movement.
Obviously there are currently severe limitations that will hopefully
be lifted in subsequent versions.
* Only one font attribute supported.
* Tabs are not supported.
* Visual cursor movement.
* Only wrapped text is supported.
* Since the underlying characterset is iso-8859-8 there are no
no additional Unicode formatting characters (RTM and LTM) supported.
With all these limitations, the widget should be sufficient to create
a simple mail application for Hebrew.
