You might be kidding on yor last e-mail,
but just think for a sec what would happen if gtk and qt won't implemant
the bidi on the same exact way.
that would create HUGE mess preventing people from trying to adjust thier
programs to use bidi.
same if mozilla and konquarer would show hebrew in a diffrent way.
luckly for us must of them chose fbidi as the way the implemant it,
I think it should be strictly the same way.

|
| This problem goes like this (and I use currently Outlook Express to type

|
| &he;&bet;&vav;&resh;&samekh;&he; &yod;&resh;&dalet;&he; &bet;-3%
|
| or in "hebrew english"
|
| Haboorsa yarda b-3%
|
| Now. According to lars, there isn't a specific paragraph (at least thats
| what I understood from him) that says where the "makaf" should be, so Lars
| has left it like this situation:
|
| -3%&he;&bet;&vav;&resh;&samekh;&he; &yod;&resh;&dalet;&he; &bet;
|
| or in "hebrew english"
|
| Haboorsa yarda b-3%
|
| >From my experience, opening word documents on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT -

| never tested it on Windows 2000.
|
| According to lars - the way that MSIE shows the "makaf" is a bug and the
| financial and other web sites uses this bug to show the numbers and "makaf"
| correctly.
|
| So, the big question is - how is it on the windows world? how web designers
| are dealing with it? what Lars should do? ignore the spec and implement this
| "bug"?
|
| Thanks,
| Hetz
