I searched a lot but couldn't find any terminal with this attribute I tested xterm but it doesn't work another problems: In some buffers for example ERC irc channels RTL doesn't work It aligned as Left , Is there any function to set buffer as RTL? or is there any option to set if most of the text is in Persian language set this line as RTL? 2.there is some bugs that I see in Emacs 24 pretest with RTL according to attachment , text that bordered with sign "1" should be in right of the buffer when I enter a blank line and enter the same line it will be aligned in the right way(signed as 4) after that I entered an English text without blank line (signed as 2),it aligned at right but it should be in left numbers of persian language will be aligned at left but it should aligned in right(signed as 3) On Sun, Sep 25, 2011 at 9:36 PM, Eli Zaretskii wrote: > > From: mehran khajavi > > Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2011 21:07:56 +0330 > > Cc: Kenichi Handa , emacs-devel@gnu.org > > > > wow great > > it solved > > but only with gtk+ screen, not from emacs -nw option! > > any solution to get it work in terminal?! > > To have Arabic shaping in "emacs -nw", you need a terminal that > supports Arabic shaping.
