viewing Arabic text

(1/3) > >>

amr:
Hi there,

The text viewer plugin works fine with me when displaying normal Arabic text, but for Arabic scripts containing diacritics - harakat - , the letters get displayed unjoined .., is there something missing in the BiDi implementation ??

Thanks,
Amr
- ver. r21444M-0906
- Sansa e250 v2

JdGordon:
you are using a rather old build and we prefer people to use the most recent when they report issues...  although in all honesty I cant think of anything recent which would have fixed the issue....
we apparently dont have many users who use "exotic" lang/fonts so yes there is probably issues with bidi... best way to get this fixed is find someone who can code.... thai support has issues as well which are slwoly being worked on, maybe he will fix the issues fr you (search the patches)

amr:
regarding the build, I've checked it out from svn only 1 month ago, so it is supposed to be ver. 3, but that is what I get from rockbox info in the system menu..., could it be because that's a v2 sansa ?

about the language support , I know that there is an open source library called fribidi (http://fribidi.org/) that handles all the issues of shaping, joining and displaying right to left scripts.., may it be used as a replacement for the current bidi implementation ??

Thank you

GodEater:
1 month is pretty ancient. We sometimes get 10-20 changes to the code a *day*. So there's likely an awful lot changed in that time.

amr:
I guess pango (http://www.pango.org/) may be useful too ...
