Hi, I want to use fribidi to enable bidi support in my app. I have some questions, and probably some confused assumptions so please bear with me. I checked out the projects listed on the fribidi webpage and they all use log2vis() which assumes single line paragraphs. Are there known projects that use the fribidi API with multi-line paragraphs? It seems that pango only uses fribidi to get embedding levels. I was surprised that pango doesn't use/need the bidi algorithm from fribidi - how does pango do bidi then? Behdad said[1] that fribidi_join_arabic() is optional. Why is that? I appreciate any clarification you could give me. Cosmin.
