Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Dear friends,
Sentences which are supposed to be printed in right-to-left order in the
terminal like Hebrew, Farsi and Arabic are printed left-to-right.
I think that this makes the terminal unusable for RTL language users and
I think that it gives a very unprofessional impression to the system. It
even reminds me of the days when the WWW began to be widely adopted in
Israel and Hebrew pages in reverse were a common problem which people to
mess around with a lot to get working.
Can there be a simple fix for this, or does this need more serious
rewriting of code?
In any case, as impossible to fix as it might seem, I think that this
bug deserves to be confirmed and stay open until it is resolved or
worked around one way or another.
BTW, I know that this isn't specific to gnome-terminal. I think that
this happens in a deeper level so please change it properly.
Many blessings.
