As Handa-san points out, you need to install additional libraries and reconfigure and rebuild Emacs with them, to get Arabic shaping to work. > On the other hand, these work fine in the Windows version. The native Windows version uses a different shaping engine, called Uniscribe. That engine supports all the features Emacs needs, including Arabic shaping, in a single DLL which comes with the OS. I guess no one made the Cygwin port of X use Uniscribe, which is why you need those additional libraries that provide an equivalent functionality on Posix systems. _______________________________________________ emacs-bidi mailing list emacs-bidi@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-bidi
