I checked my old archives yesterday and I found that I still have the very first releases of fribidi where I was the sole contributor. I personally have no problem releasing these under a putty compatible licence. It would save Ahmed some work if he didn't have to reimplement this. I think it would be good to rename the sources though so that there is no confusion with fribidi.
Do you have anything against it, Behdad?
What it would give you:
* A complete (but probably somewhat buggy) implementation of the implicit unicode bidi algorithm.
* No support for explicit overrides (but, hey, would use those in a terminal emulator!)
* Less than optimal speed wise. No sophisticated lookup (neither two-level nor nine-level. ;-)
i think explicit codes are used by some programs (can anyone confirm..?) i dont have any problem with that... but i need to discuss it with PuTTY's author... nadim, what do u think..?
