Youcef, you mentioned this in your message message: <quote> 6- This also has already been said and I don't know if this is the proper channel to discuss it. But it's important to note that the Unicode statement which says that numbers in Arabic are written LTR has to be discussed at some point. Numbers in Arabic are read _and_ written from RTL. Even if in the few last years a new way of writing and reading numbers has emerged (mainly due to the use of LTR software ?). It's not too late to fix that however. </quote> I was about to post a comment there regarding the topic but decided it's better not to confuse them with different opinions as much as possible. I will discuss it here first. The issue of reading and writing numbers LTR in Arabic is surely correct and not something new. It's also true that you can read it RTL sometimes.

In short, I believe implementation-wise the Unicode has done the optimal and most correct solution. If you are convinced with this argument, please rephrase/correct your message to MathML list so that they won't get confused. Also, note that what I am saying has nothing to do with cursor movement jumping to back and forth through numbers. This is the second situation where I found GTK+ implementation superior to Qt, I forgot the first ;) -- Munzir Taha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Mandrake Club Member Maintainer of the Open Arabic Bugs Project at http://wiki.arabeyes.org/OpenBugs Maintainer of Fedora Arabic Translation Project CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS, Linux+, LPI 101 New Horizons CLC, Riyadh, SA
