Some time ago, I posted on this list a call for suggestions about where to
invest development efforts in order to improve the Bidi support in Linux.
We received a few answers, and we are still considering our options.
Anyway, I think we owe some sort of report to this list, so here it is.
The suggestions we received can be classified as follows:
Basic Support:
Keyboard mapping
Fonts
UTF-8
GUI
QT/KDE
GTK/Gnome
Applications
Word processor
Emacs
Vim
Internet
Browser (this is not really needed, since the Bidi-enabled Mozilla is
now released)
Porting Tools
Wine
As you can see, this is quite a demanding list. We are currently weighing
our options, before jumping into concrete work. I will send updated info
when a decision is taken.
