Arabic, which is finally displayed from right-to-left, works in
windowed mode, but for me, it does not work correctly with "-nw":
While it is displayed correctly in a LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Konsole (KDE
terminal), the order of the letters is changed just by moving the
cursor through Arabic text. I do not think this is a problem with the
port, but either with my setup or with emacs-24.1 in general.
Did you try other terminal, like mrxvt ? I think it's problem with terminal,
and not Emacs, but I might be wrong.
mrxvt and mrxvt-devel both do not display utf-8 at all. I tried
rxvt-unicode: While only some of the Arabic characters where displayed
correctly, the cursor was moving properly and it did not reorder the
characters. Emacs and the Emacs port seem to be fine. Finding and
setting up a terminal that works properly with Arabic seems to be the
problem.
Sorry, I was talking about mlterm[1].
Just for the record: x11/mlterm WITH_FRIBIDI does correct editing of
Arabic in a shell and in "emacs -nw". Otherwise, "emacs -nw" does not
work very well in mlterm: Backspace does not work, while it works
outside Emacs, and combinations using the <Alt> key do not work, but
they work properly in both konsole and rxvt-unicode.
Anyhow, the shortcomings of different terminal emulators are really OT
and the only conclusion should be that there really seems to be no
problem with either Emacs or the Emacs port.
Thanks,
Jan Henrik
