Imagine, is it likely that a person who thinks thet Xterm should not support Bidi will worry about FriBidi's license? I support the idea of supporting Bidi by Xterm, though we will have to research concrete definition of what "Bidi support" is. On the other hand, I want native Bidi people to use Brady's patch or Mlterm and give good feedbacks to Fribidi or Mlterm. Such experience of using Bidi terminal will be useful in discussing the above discussion, i.e., determining concrete definition of what "Bidi support" is. We will need some standard definition of what "Bidi support" is, because apprication softwares which want to run on Bidi-supported terminals will have to know what functionarities the terminals have. The contents should not be modified frequently. I want native Bidi people to take the initiative in such discussions. But, I am afraid whether people here will agree that Xterm will support Bidi, as Nadim is afraid... Without such consensus, any discussions will be futile. I remember that Markus and Juliusz have expressed an objection for Xterm to support Bidi. Is it true even now? PS. [offtopic] Juliusz, could you please release a new version of luit with all patches? --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
