I haven't done anything that _should_ have broken it, so if this is true then it's certainly a bug that needs fixing. > + 2004-12-02:r2941 Works great without issues > + 2004-12-19:r5011 Seems to be broken (Presumably you mean 2004-12-02:r4941 :-) > I simply looked at a mixed Arabic/English file and it looks like the Arabic > is being rendered properly its just not being flipped so instead of reading > HELLO, I'm seeing OLLEH (given caps are Arabic). I'm afraid I can't reproduce this. However, it's rather difficult for me to test bidi on Windows in any case, since I don't know of any fixed-pitch Windows font that supports Arabic. Do you have any? I looked through the Khotot page on arabeyes.org, but none of the TTFs there appear to be fixed pitch. When I try displaying my small UTF-8 test file (currently checked in to the PuTTY source repository as putty/testdata/utf8.txt) I get nothing but rectangular blobs, but the blobs appear to be arranged in the right order as far as I can see (cursor position mapping and selection all appear to do the right thing). Do you see the problem with that file? If not, can you send me a file that _does_ exhibit the problem, and I'll add it to my test collection. If I test on Unix (using the ae_fonts_mono font), everything seems to be displayed in the right order. > BTW: I haven't forgotten about getting a few people to look at the > miniBidi code for sanity checks.

I've actually made one pass through the code myself fixing array overruns, which could easily be what broke it! :-) More eyes are always helpful, though.
