Thanks for the answer (I should have known the results depended on the actual configuration :-)

Get SC unipad and type identical logical input in Arabic and Farsi modes. The makers of Unipad are Iranian and they implement both Arabic and Farsi rules correctly, have keyboards etc. AFAIK, no other editor implements the bidi alg as well.

I didn't use Unipad that much, but I think Gedit (GTK pased) does a perfect job, I'm not aware of any windows port of it though. I'd like to know what features in Unipad (regarding Arabic) that Gedit hasn't. Regards, Khaled

I'll forward you something in this regard.

Best wishes Idris
