The bidi specific icons should have their own toolbar too, have not got to that yet. Whether to make it the default build I do not know. It will take lot more testing before it is 100% stable and ready to use, so we are not at the point when the decision needs to be made yet, but judging by the reports in bugzilla and emails I have been getting privately, there is interest in it, and so we should not be too short of testers. (Also, the importers and exporters need to be dealt with, notably the rtf exporter, so we can provide Word compatibility). When it is stable and ready to use, there is one major issue to deal with. There is some overhead, both in size and speed, that we pay for the bidi functionality. We will need to do some real-life tests on some older hardware, to see if it makes tangible difference. If it does, we may want to keep both builds. (I am, though, quite optimistic as far as the speed for LTR-only documents is concerned). Tomas
