Is this on MS-Windows, by any chance? Because if it is, then Emacs has nothing to do with this: it's the Windows function used to display a word, it reorders the logical into visual order automatically. But as soon as you move the cursor with C-f or the arrow keys, the characters are displayed in their logical order, LTR. That's not bidi support, it's not even close. > BTW, you know that Vim supports RTL? But without bidi reordering. Yes, I know. _______________________________________________ emacs-bidi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-bidi
