Ah, this is a right-to-left script?! FLTK leaves it to the operating system to render r2l correctly. This works well for labels on OS X, but not for the editors. Other platforms need specific calls, I think, and there is even a call to render r2l, but that doesn't help with labels. The problem is, that we'd need a lookup table to know which characters are r2l and a big rule book to do this correctly. We might be able to do this, but at a certain point, we may be better off linking with pango at run-time, if available. Unfortunately I don't speak, read, or write any r2l script language. _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
