I think some of you are not on [email protected]... ----- Forwarded message from Ely Levy <[email protected]> ----- From: Ely Levy <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Bidi standart Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2004 23:47:17 +0200 (IST) Hey, I want to suggest making a standart for bidi on desktop. As someone who has Hebrew for mother langauge I notice the small and not so small diffrances between kde/gnome/mozilla/opengoffice and so on. I think forming a group to work on a standart would make free desktop much more atractive for bidi speakers. below few notes made by dov (one on the writers of fribidi). ------- * Logical vs visual cursor movement. (What happens when you press the right arrow key?) * How do you place the cursor with the mouse at boundry points? * The display of the cursor at boundry points where the direction changes. * How should zero width unicode control characters be displayed? * Perhaps there should be a status bar that displays the name of the zero width character when you move over it? * How should zero width control characters be input? How are they selected and erased? * Should there be a "code-view" mode that will show the raw logical sequence? * Should bidi levels be shown? If so, how? Different colors of background? Different underlines? * Should it be possible to draw a special character at the boundry point that indicates if it is a "source" point (the two different directions diverge there) or a "sink" point (the two different directions converge)? ----- Nakee _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg ----- End forwarded message ----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
