[Bug 263822] Re: RTL (right to left) support in terminal (BiDi)
If it works as a libvte replacement (and reasonably stable) then I think it should be default in RTL environments. However, IMO removal of libvte upon installation is not required. I think both can live together using the Debian Alternatives System. libvte should be available with a lower priority in the Alternatives list, which will make MLTerm default when installed.

[Bug 571822] Re: Empathy allign RTL text as LTR text on messenger
Frustration Well, Going by the GNOME logic (which I dislike .. sigh ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167354 )) .. the auto-detection should be just fine (option C). The grandmothers using Gnome should be smart enough to insert the Invisible Unicode LRM/RLM characters when auto-detection goes wrong (which happens very rarely I must admit ). /Frustration I'm afraid the problem get even more complex since last time I checked, MSN didn't support RLM/LRM so well (this might have been changed by now) and in this case butterfly should remove the RLM/LRM marks and set MSN's RL flag accordingly. IMO, Support for Rich text solves the problem since you may specify both alignment and direction (note these are actually two different properties) for different parts of the text and let the protocol plugin do what it can to send it correctly. Maybe Behdad Esfahbod should be asked for his opinion on this. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #167354 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167354 -- Empathy allign RTL text as LTR text on messenger https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571822 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 571822] Re: Empathy allign RTL text as LTR text on messenger
This bug sound like an upstream bug and I'll take a wild guess and say the fix is probably the same one I did in Pidgin a few years ago: http://shlomil.blogspot.com/2007/02/patch-to-fix-some-bidi-text-issues-in.html RL=1 should be passed for RTL messages in MSN protocol. Wireshark can be used to confirm what flag value is used by Empathy. Solution: The first letter of the message should be detected for direction and set the flag accordingly (AKA, the Gnome way). -- Empathy allign RTL text as LTR text on messenger https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571822 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
