[Kde-i18n-fa] How to print farsi documents

Fri Sep 17 19:15:43 CEST 2004

I'm also noticing that kwrite(1) cursor positioning is not correct. That 
is while I'm typing
in Farsi, the cursor is to the far right of the text, but for each 
keystrock, the char is inserted
to the far left. Effectively what you get is a left justified text....

Is this a configuration issue or bug with kwrite(1).
