There's an entry near the beginning of NEWS (search for "bidirectional") that will set you up; it points to a section in the Emacs manual for some more information. 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. 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). Thanks again. _______________________________________________ emacs-bidi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-bidi
