I suggest to do the following - mail your code and results to the fribidi list for their inspection since the experts all reside on those lists :-) fribidi.sf.net (soon to be part of gnu.org instead). > If you want I can send you the module, a test script, and some test files. Sure, but I will make my own implementation at some point (again to better understand the algorithm and to prove it to myself), but your code would be nice to have. Regards, - Nadim
