Bug sample 

Arabic letters in vte not shaped correctly .

It's reversed and non-connected .
Comment 1 André Klapper 2013-08-01 06:15:43 UTC 
Which exact version of gnome-terminal is this?

How could I try to reproduce this?
How should it look correctly?
Comment 2 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-08-01 10:43:41 UTC 
All version of gnome-terminal I used since 2005 ^_^

You can touch the bug by any Arabic stdout , like :

echo العالم جميل

It must rendering as العالم جميل but it shown as ل ي م ج   م ل ا ع ل ا 
reversed and disconnected .

I think it isn't hard to solve by you , Thank you for your attention .

RTL is not supported by vte (and likely never will be).
