That's correct -- no news with respect to right-to-left languages in FM9. With all versions of FrameMaker/Windows, you can add some isolated strings in Hebrew/Arabic (but without correlation between cursor location/selected text and the "real" insertion point). >I know this is a frequently-requested feature, and now that the code >base has been rewritten and Unicode is supported, it should be possible >-- albeit still difficult -- to implement it. Anyone have any special >insight (or well-grounded speculation) on when or if this might happen? My speculation is that support for right-to-left languages does not seem likely, despite the implementation of Unicode in FM.
