Hi,

What are the chances of getting support for right-to-left editing?  Note
that this is not a request for bidi support.  Support for the bidi
algorithm is not necessary for Arabic; all that is needed is glyph
shaping and right-to-left editing.  Numbers can be wrapped in an xml
element and transformed to generate Unicode-compliant text.

Your editor already almost supports Arabic text.  It shapes the
characters correctly, and allows editing.  The only problem is that the
cursor behavior is incorrect - it doesn't accurately indicate the
current point.  This is the case for all the XML editors I've tried -
Oxygen, Morphon, and XMLBlueprint.  The only remaining thing I need is
for the cursor to correctly show the insertion point.

If you can implement right-to-left editing there is a least a chance
that I could generate some sales for you from my client.  I love your
editor, but some kind of Arabic support is essential.  Without that
support there is no possibility.

Thanks,

Gregg Reynolds
