In passing, windows doesn't do bidi within PuTTY (so don't even expect to see it just yet :-) > of the files was mixed with english .. and nothing but english letters > were viewed .. the arabic letters were viewed as garbage. I think you are doing something wrong then. Arabic should not be viewed as garbage - make sure your file is a properly encoded UTF-8 file and that your PuTTY session is under the same encoding (Category->Window->Translation and select UTF-8), you can check the file's contents by viewing it in your browser. If you still see strange characters try it with the non-modified PuTTY executable to see if you might have introduced this 'inability' (as Behdad noted, you should see disjoint characters - ie. non-shaped characters). > so i guess we can go for the next step.. once the license issue is > clear. thanks for the help Behdad, Once the above is solved, we'll need to mail a patch to Simon and proceed from there (I'd guess Simon et al would rather slim down a Bidi implementation and simply include it in the source - I would also bet they will pursue the ICU library for code sniplets).
