Ah yes, that was my retarded evil twin typing. I hate it when he gets
onto my computer! The files that he was testing with contained examples
showing how Arabic handwriting often has obviously misplaced dots. For
some reason he decided fribidi was generating those correction messages,
when in fact it was really just printing out the documents. *sigh*
So far it looks like this does the trick.
fribidi --nopad --nobreak --nomirror
I've looked over a couple files side-by-side with ParsNegar and Word XP
and they seem to match up so far, however there are some problems
particularly with dates. For example, on a RTL line the date "12/23/2004"
becomes "2004/23/12". Unfortunately these documents are littered with
dates so this is a problem. I'll keep playing with it and see if I can
come up with anything, but dates have always been a headache for me.
