Problem with Arabic script support
« on: 24 December 2012, 00:03:13 »
Hi
The Arabic language need more support
Because the Arabic language is different to Latin script languages, the arabic script languages required  complex text rendering

example for multiple languages need this support (not only for arabic script languages)
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=CmplxRndExamples

This image (example) describe what's wrong in Arabic script in the game:



This image not for MG game, but this is the same problem!

I think the solution begins with GNU fribidi or HarfBuzz; or something like that!
GNU fribidi http://www.fribidi.org/
or
HarfBuzz http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz

I want to help in support ,but unfortunately I'm not a coder!
Sorry, my English isn't good ):
Thanks MegaGlest community.

Thanks

We will release this change in the next release. Once you are done the translation I will talk with titi to determine when that will be.

Thanks
