------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 2 21:07:00 +0000 2008 ------- IMHO it would be valid to assume that anyone using an English distro can understand "decimal" (1,2,3...) numerals, while only some can understand Hindi numerals (١,٢,٣...). Therefore it would be prudent to display decimal numerals by default - and only display hindu numerals in cases where it was 100% certain that the use of them was intended. A document originally intended to display Hindu numerals would still be legible if the numerals were converted to decimal, and the problem easily corrected by using an appropriate font. A document originally intended to display Decimal numerals rendered with Hindu numerals would become illegible, and is NOT easily recoverable. I STRONGLY suggest - at least as a temporary fix - adding an option under "languge settings" to disable the rendering of hindu numerals. This bug is absolutely crippling - you should see how my physics articles look like now... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
