Hello,
I need to visualize arabic language. Right now fribidi works
perfectly for hebrew but with arabic letters I still have a problem.
The text consists of the real Unicode values and when they are
printed they must somehow substituted with ligatures. I am not in
arabic but there seems to be a letter for beginning, inside and end
of a word.
Is here a library or does fribidi supoort the calculation of this?
Regards
Till
