Hi there, Well, the cursor problem is not Persian-specific, but bidi-specific. The problem is that in a text editor with mixed right-to-left and left-to-right, you have a cursor and Left and Right arrow to navigate in the text. Now design the movement and cursor shape such that it behaves in an expected/easy to learn/predictable way. About a list of open problems, no, there's no such thing yet, but Roozbeh and I compiled a similar list sometime back that I don't have it anymore. --behdad behdad.org _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
