If we can figure out a way (at runtime) to determine that we're in Wine rather than real Windows, preferably something from OSVERSIONINFO (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724834(VS.85).aspx), then we can apply the UTF8arShaping filter and do the shaping manually. On the other hand, if copying usp10.dll over works, then there might be some interference for users who have done this--or possibly pre-shaped Arabic would simply be ignored by Uniscribe. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
