this is what "Unicode Standard Annex #9: The Bidirectional Algorithm" says about LRO: LRO: Left-to-Right Override: Force following characters to be treated as strong left-to-right characters. Therefore LRO does what Fridrich says. But I'm not sure if the shaping of the RTL characters will be correct if they are painted LTR. I'll have to discuss this with HDU.
This would not really be a problem with WordPerfect documents. WP treats these characters as pictures (It even has fonts for each charset in several versions, i.e. Arial imitation, Courrier imitation, Times imitation...). The linking of the characters has to be done by the user himself chosing the right version of the character (standalone, left linked, right linked, both sides linked). Libwpd is mapping only the characters that represent a standalone character into the unicode number of its canonical version (0x06??). The linked characters are mapped into the presentation versions that correspond exactly to the linked version. Like that (and except possible errors in our tables), the linking that the user did in WP is exactly reproduced in Writer.
Just if the controls were not displayed :-) ! Cheers Fridrich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
