| 3868.1 | TURRIS::DIGITAL_UNIX | SPECXN::REESE | How much is that ALPHA in the window? | Thu May 11 1995 11:30 | 11 |
| Hi Dieter!
You might be better off posting this to one of the technical notes
conferences. The Digital Unix (formerly DEC OSF) notes conference
might be a good place to start:
TURRIS::DIGITAL_UNIX
Hope this helps,
Carl

| Digital UNIX does not currently have support for Arabic. This is a
language we see many requests for but to date we have not been able to
get substantial business justification to provide the support.
If you can provide some of this information please contact the
I18N product manager, Bob (UNXA::)Perciaccante.

| 3868.3 | Well it's doable... | THEWAV::GASSNER_ST | | Wed May 17 1995 17:47 | 11 |
| FWIW, I have implemented Arabic al-arabi before. The algorithm is far
more complex that one might initially suspect - it took about a year.
If anybody's interested in knowing how it's done, let me know. It's
basically an fsa with multiple look-up tables for shape codes - the
hard parts are diacriticals, english (and digit) insert, as the
direction of cursor movement changes, depending upon which keys are
pressed. FWIW, Arabic and Hebrew are implementable with only slight
variants of the same algorithm; and the character set is defined in
either 7 or 8 bit codes.

| 3868.4 | Contact LC Israel for help | FRAIS::RHAGEN | Regina Hagen | Thu May 18 1995 06:25 | 9 |
| I am sure the Localization Center/International Systems Engineering
(ISE) group in Israel could help you. Sorry, I'm no longer a Deccie
and therefore can't give you a name to contact. Maybe somebody
reading this can.
Israel does not only Hebrew but also Arabic stuff.

| 3868.6 | We have implemented a prototype for Arabic support in X/Motif | TAVENG::SHAI | Shai Ophir, ISE/Israel, DTN 882-3470 | Sun May 21 1995 07:13 | 5 |
| The prototype is not a product. It currently runs on VMS.
I was using a public domain Arabic font for this purpose.
However we have one font file only (one size, one style).
Shai.
