umm, i wrote this email, then thought... hey, there is some work left.. so y test it now...?? i'll postpone it for later...
but, if any one is interested here it is...
// Original Mail starts here------ anyone want to test PuTTy..?? it doesnt take much, just Win2000 or WinXP...
download the file from this link, and rename it from putty3.bin to putty3.exe ... i had to use the .bin extension because geocities wouldnt allow me to upload .exe files...
http://www.geocities.com/ahmadkhalifa83/putty/putty3.bin
OK, so you downloaded the file and are ready to test :))
if you dont have an account to use putty for what its supposed to be used for (im not sure what that is.. :)) ).. just use the following settings in the 'PuTTY Configuration' Dialog that comes up first... + Session Hostname: localhost Port: 80 Protocol: Raw
+ Window/ Translation Received Data Assumed.....: UTF-8
you'll get an error message after a while, but you can continue typing... just type arabic stuff...
here is what you should be looking for...
+ shaping is done as you type, without a need for redraw... + when you force a redraw (i.e minimize and maximize) the words should appear L to R BUT, the letters should be from R to L.. (i.e the word's letters are simply flipped to look nice for now...) + No Bidi is done... + LAA (Lam-Alef) are not correctly shaped...(i have located the problem) + typing the key LAA (i.e the Key that has 'B' on it, on most KBs) outputs two letters..
ak...
