Sorry if resend it. I sent it first to the general mailing list by mistake. Here it is again here
First, many many thanks to the contributors to this great project. It's really great. Many bugs are there which is well expected from an alpha release. Here is my experience: I downloaded bicon, ./configure, make, make install (as root). Now, In a gnome-terminal [EMAIL PROTECTED] emunzir]$ bicon BiCon started [EMAIL PROTECTED] emunzir]$ man man doesn't display properly 1. It shows only in half of the screen 2. Enter doens't work. It should scroll one line down. 3. the phrase "line 1-27" comes in the middle of the screen with text below it 4. vim display INSERT also half the way on screen 5. cat'ing any arabic filename will work with shaping but upon typing Arabic if I pressed BACKSPACE to delete a letter and type again, it will appear in the wrong position 6. less'ing an Arabic file won't work. I turned to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), loged in, bicon I tried Left alt+shift and tried to type the letter "e" I got a strange question mark. alt+shift again or anything i tried won't allow me to type "e". Hence, I couldn't type "exit" to exit and stuck there. Once stucked, I tried vim from console, typing "e" gave me the euro sign. Now, I can't type ":" to exit. It doesn't work. Ctrl+z got me out of vim. I tried Alt+F7 to return to GUI but no use. Sequential Ctrl+D's loged me out and now Alt+F7 back to GUI. Sigh! I decided not to return to that frightening blackhole until it's fixed.
