Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
=============================================================================
when using a text editor like vim inside xfce4-terminal to create a
Hebrew text file, the alphabet characters enter in the correct
order but non-Hebrew characters, like punctuation, appear on the
wrong end of the line.
When following the punctuation with another Hebrew letter, they
then both jump to the correct position.
There are bidirectional support libraries like libfribidi that
handle right-to-left characters correctly. mlterm is an example of
a terminal that uses them so both alphabet and punctuation appear
in the order they were typed in.
When using cat in mlterm, the file again appears correct whereas
cat on the file inside xfce4-terminal has the characters reversed.
Temporarily, a .vimrc can be added with commands to follow selected
punctuation marks with a UNICODE character so the order is correct,
as if punctuation had been followed with a letter.
