It's left like that in etc/HELLO as a constant | reminder that Emacs doesn't yet support bidirectional editing, and as an | incentive for the developers to add that support ;-) | | When bidi support is added, the display engine will reorder the letters so | that they are displayed correctly. This is called logical-to-visual order | conversion, and is a necessary part of any bidi-enabled editor. See the | Unicode Technical Report #9 for more details (and some insight into why is | this so hard to add to Emacs ;-). | `---- Pour les probl�mes de fontes, il y a des connaisseurs sur news:fr.comp.text.tex ... bonne chance ! -- Jacques L'helgoualc'h
