Hi Marc, Can you make a .xo file that people can download and install via the browser on the XO?
If you can post that, I think I can get a few Arabic speakers with Arabic XOs to try it out. Thanks, Greg S ************ Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2008 23:14:44 +0100 From: "J.M. Maurer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [sugar] AbiWord 2.6.5 pushed, please test! To: sugar@lists.laptop.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain Hi all, I've just updated AbiWord to 2.6.5 in sugar-jhbuild as well as fedora's OLPC-3 branch. A public release on abisource.com will follow soonish, but we don't want to keep the kids waiting now, do we? The most important change in this release for OLPC is "improved complex script rendering". To be precise: before 2.6.5, AbiWord did not always shape composite glyphs correctly. This made AbiWord unusable for languages like Arabic. So, I'd like to ask everyone familiar with such languages to test AbiWord 2.6.5. If you use the Write activity that uses libabiword 2.6.5 to test Arabic for example, then make sure to use a font that includes Arabic glyphs. DejaVu Sans does if I remember correctly[1]. We improved our rendering based on community feedback only, as none of the AbiWord developers have any knowledge of complex scripts themselves. Ergo: * We depend on your feedback! * Thanks to all who helped in the process so far. If you find any bugs, the please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.abisource.com. Extra kudos if you can reproduce it reliably :) Cheers! Marc [1] Write should default to a proper font based on the locale. It's a known 'bug'. _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
