[openbeos] Re: StyledEdit and bi-di text

as i said, there is a hebrew input method. on bebits. it doesn't work all the way. delimiters are still a problem.
i asked for the source and didnt get a response.

i dont know many other israeli beos users so i have no idea how they cope with it.

a cute thing i learned yesterday is that phoenix works *perfectly* will all hebrew encoded HTMLs. just wonderful :).
(so that's solved.. and yes i know its because of mozilla.. still great.)

However, from what I can tell drawing strings in a particular direction is a property of the font that you are using and can not be set arbitrarily. What this means for bidi text in general I don't know but unless it's automagically supported when you change the font to a hebrew font it won't be even marginally supported until R2. If it is automagically supported then perhaps maintaining the text alignment will be enough to make stylededit usable, if only for reading.
I understand there are still some input method issues and those will not be addressed until someone donates us a hebrew input method. :-)
