Hi,
I am working on mlterm(http://mlterm.sf.net/) and now mlterm in current CVS
repository(mlterm.cvs.sf.net) supports UTF8 RTL characters using FriBidi
(http://fribidi.sf.net).
Arabic character shaping is also implemented.
It seems to work almost the same as xterm-152-27 which also supports Bidi.
But actually I don't know Bidi etc well since I'm not a native and I started to
study it only a few days ago , so I would like anyone who is interested
in my software and familiar with Bidi to check the behavior and implementation
of mlterm.
[instruction]
First of all , install the latest FriBidi library(0.9.0) to your system.
and get mlterm source codes and compile them.
$ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/mlterm login
(hit Enter)
$ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/mlterm
checkout mlterm
$ cd mlterm
$ ./configure --enable-fribidi
$ make
$ make install
don't forget to use --enable-fribidi option in configuring.
Then execute mlterm as follows.
$ mlterm -km utf8 -bi
you can't use Bidi without -bi option.
otherwise , you can also use it by adding
use_bidi = true
to ~/.mlterm/main , or dynamically change it in Ctrl + Button 3 menu.
Regards.
