There is a patch Khaled Hosny made to support arabic indeed, but this patch was rejected by upstream [1]. Also Khaled Hosny no longer maintains that patch nor is he going to work on another patch for wine. As mentioned in [1] this patch causes the size of wine to increase, so it will be hard to convince Ubuntu to use this patch in their wine package. So I have been thinking of an idea to make the same wine source pacage generate an extra couple of packages for arabic support (say wine-arabic & wine-arabic-dev). But one must have a look at that patch to see if that would be easy to implement or not. I still don't have that package, I should ask bro. AlSadi to give it to me. -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0x9DCA0B27 (@ subkeys.pgp.net) GPG Fingerprint: 087D 3767 8CAC 65B1 8F6C 156E D325 C3C8 9DCA 0B27 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntume.team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntume.team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
