Hi, We are aware that for a reasonable Arabic support we'll have to add code to most clients either by pouring Arabic processing code directly in the app or by wiring it to a library, unless an Arabic processing engine is added on the server side that is. That said, in some circumstances, this is not true. An example that was brought to us was the possibility of adding a simple greeting message to a login window. This could simply be hardwired in any application without any more change than a simple string translation (directly hardwiring the string as would return it any rendering library), just like you would do it from English to French. No need for RTL, bidi, shaping, you name it... This is only an example, but the applications following this logic could be a lot more extended. So we definitely do need all possible glyphs on the server side. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it shouldn't be costly in terms of efforts/time/money/etc to just do that, would it? Thanks and regards, Chahine
