The problem is that the char display of the Arabic is still left-to-right. That is, C-f steps through the run RTL, but the reading order is still LTR (i.e. like this: ALSLAM @LYLM; it should be MLY@ MALSLA) > > This is running emacs -nw on OS X 10.5.8, after running bzr merge. > > What "bzr merge"?

Actually, I have a wiki so maybe the thing to do is keep my notes there and submit items to this list as needed.
