Hi people,
During the last few days of people using crossover office, I recieved a couple of bug reports regarding crossover/wine and Bidi problems.
I have written an email to Jeremy White (CEO of CodeWeavers) about it and here's his answer.
Of course - all their work on bidi stuff is going back into the WineHQ tree, so everyone will benefit from it..
Comments?
Thanks,
Hetz

If you install Office 2k with LANG set to Hebrew, then it installs it's own bidi stuff which works ok, but when it comes to english/hebrew mixing (happends also wih arabic and farsi, but their all using the same bidi algorithms) it gets confused (when editing, not viewing)..
Hmm. I would really like to get this working, Hetz. If, for no
other reason than you have been very patient (and very persistent,
but I admire that <grin>).
Can you give me a sense of the scope of the opportunity and the
potential deal? Do you think that a few Univerisites (or companies) could
commit to a volume deal in exchange for us making this work?
We're stretched really thin right now, and it'd be hard to ask
someone to look into this without some sense of the potential return.
Cheers,
Jer

As near as I can figure out, when you switch language (E<->) Word does not show you the change, nor does it reverse the cursor shape as it does under native Windows. However, it functions correctly.
By the way, I installed the Language Pack from office, because I prefer English dialogues and messages. (Hebrew popup messages always come out with the wrong encoding - ???'s)
Explorer:
Works, but sometimes grabs 97%+ of CPU time. Cure: kill -9 <pid>.
Excell:
I loaded a Hebrew spread sheet. It reversed everything. Subsequent reloading under Windows had all Hebrew strings reversed. It may be due to my use of the Language Pack. I don't know.
