    Hi Tomas,
            Can you answer this? Should your answer go in a FAQ? It appears
    that you alone can deal with BiDi questions.

    Cheers

    Martin

    I realize I must be bugging you more that I ought to, but I
    seem to be unable to get the right-to-left feature to work.
    I believe you read my postings concerning support for
    arabic, and how words get reversed to a left-to-right
    ordering after I type a space or a cr. I would really
    appreciate if you could comment on this. If this happens
    only to me, then maybe the problem might be with my build of
    the library Abiword relies on to implement bidi support. But
    then again I do not know where to put my hands on without
    support, and there is very little documentation for me to read.

    I'm trying to help an arabic speaking friend enjoy the
    benefits of a modern word processor like Abiword. I think
    this is a very worthy reason to seek your help. I really
    hope I'm not annoying you with this problem.

    Best regards,
    Alex Baretta
