Thanks, that was very helpful!
I'm now trying to implement this in Okular (instead of studying for my exam, bad!). I've set up a KDE4 development environment, but have no prior experience with KDE or Qt at all. I've searched the 'net for anything relevant, and I see in older versions of Qt there were functions like QString::visual() and QHebrewCodec, but nothing like that exists in the latest version (4.6). Do you (or does anyone) know how to convert a string from visual to logical in qt4? Or for reference purposes, do you or does anyone know offhand how one would do this with GNOME / Pango? (Evince is next, although with any luck I won't look at any of this again until after exams). Thanks! Gadi P.S. Anyone else wondering if all this hail will crack their windows? :) -- Gadi Cohen aka Kinslayer <[email protected]> www.wastelands.net Freelance admin/coding/design HABONIM DROR linux/fantasy enthusiast KeyID 0x93F26EF5: 256A 1FC7 AA2B 6A8F 1D9B 6A5A 4403 F34B 93F2 6EF5 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
