Basically, you just set bidi-display-reordering to a non-nil value,
either on a per-buffer basis, or everywhere (with setq-default), and
that's it.
Doesn't seem to be an option. I do M-x set-variable, and the only bidi var is "bidi-paragraph-direction". I tried "rtl" but it didn't do anything.
Try "C-h H" first: bidi-display-reordering is set automatically in
that buffer, so you should be able to see the Arabic greeting
reordered correctly (assuming you have the font installed).
No bidi. I can see the Arabic chars, but they are left-to-right. I checked and bidi-display-reordering is t. But the Hebrew seems to be RTL.
This is running emacs -nw on OS X 10.5.8, after running bzr merge.
When I ran plain old "emacs", up it popped under X. But the keyboard didn't work.
Emacs.app seems to behave like emacs -nw, but I'm not getting Arabic glyphs no matter what font. The OS X font selection dialog comes up ok and seems to work (apple-key t) but even when I select an Arabic font I'm not seeing Arabic glyphs.
Do you have an issue tracker or wiki somewhere?
Thanks,
Gregg
