Hi, Sorry to make a constructive suggestion for once, I know its really out of character, but here goes: Next week the team of engineers responsible for bidi support in Java2 (JDK1.2 - Kestrel and JDK1.3 - Merlin) will be in Israel. The team includes B.C. Beck, the chief bidi programmer and Francis Tsang, Java QA manager, besides Bae-Chul Kim and Min-Chi Tien who are responsible for Java Internationalization QA. BTW, we recently completed testing of the eighth Linux build of JDK1.3 for Sun and I can tell you that the bidi support in both Hebrew and Arabic is as good as the Windows and Solaris versions. Is the list interested in arranging a meeting with the Sun bidi team?
