Well, maybe you can find out what that libraries are and how to link against them, then we could include the necessary instructions in Emacs. > > Can't libotf be compiled on OS X? > > I haven't tried, but since it's part of both Fink and MacPorts, I suspect > it can. If you try that, please be sure to build all the libraries mentioned in INSTALL under "Complex Text Layout support libraries". > Anyway, just let me know if I can help. I don't have access to OS X, so if you could build libotf and the other libraries mentioned in INSTALL and see if that gets you Arabic shaping, that'd be nice. Thanks in advance.
