Dear Robert,

First of all, I should thank you very much for your efforts. It was a
great surprise to see the output.

Ok, I'll start testing it that way.

BTW, your bidi patch did forget to link fribidi automatically, and did not
include glib includes which are used through fribidi include files.

It also has problems with ZWNJ, it applies it to the wrong buffer. I'm a
Linux newbie in some ways, so I don't know how to send you a screenshot of
my display (please tell me).

BTW, I'm waiting for your next patch! Specially now that I've learnt to
make them work on my machine ;)
