after a few posts over the CUPS newsgroups (i echoed them here), we're going with minibidi in CUPS' patch, so the current patch remains the _actual_ one to be submitted.
now wait, im not going to submit it now, i'll wait until minibidi issues are solved ;-)
so, for now we need Testers to look for other issues. i.e if the punctuation is not well ordered, thats minibidi's problem, leave it. you should be looking for issues like: arabic text doesnt come up and doesnt print, filter crashes on harakat, etc...
I will make changes to minibidi by the end of june, hopefully then we'd have solved all other issues, so START TESTING! and reporting :))
also, please include your OS version with your test feedback.
As usual, you can test the filter by itself if you dont have a printer, but we need to start testing _actual_ printing, i.e a hard copy paper in your hand with arabic text on it. i havent been able to do that, because my cupsd crashes, i filed an STR (bugzilla like thing) at CUPS.org, if you have the same problem you can maybe vote or sth, im not sure...
my finals are coming up in a week, i wont be doing much work until the end of june, so take your time in testing, but please do test.
ak.
