GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 759008
Texts of RTL languages are not shown properly.
Last modified: 2015-12-04 19:20:24 UTC
Languages like Persian(Farsi), Arabic and Hebrew are right-to-left and BiDirectional. Talking about BiDi, in english all characters flow from left to right, so this is simple to handle. In a pure Farsi text, all characters are shown from right to left. Pure English should be like: ⇨⇨⇨⇨⇨english content⇨⇨⇨⇨⇨ Pure Farsi: ⇦⇦⇦⇦⇦متن فارسی⇦⇦⇦⇦⇦ Farsi and English mixed together should be like: ⇨⇨⇨english content⇨⇨⇦⇦متن فارسی⇦⇦⇦⇨⇨english content⇨⇨⇨ Using current gnome-terminal regularly acts like, which is wrong: ⇨⇨⇨english content⇨⇨⇨⇨یسراف نتم⇨⇨⇨⇨⇨english content⇨⇨⇨ This is very annoying specially when you want to edit a simple html page in Farsi using editors like vim.
