[Konsole-devel] Disable BiDi rendering in konsole4

[Diego Iastrubni]

Hi Robert,

(I see your response on the archives, but it did not arrive here).

I saw the patch you made a few weeks ago. It's not enough. Also, setting 
the "layout direction" on the painter is not what I need. I don't want to 
change the paragraph direction on the drawed text, but disable the BiDi 
rendering on the display, since console applications already take care of it. 
(vim and emacs have a bidi build, and there are other hacks as fribidi and 
akka). Changing the location of the chars will confuse a lot of applications, 
and must be avoided.

For example, "cat mazal-tov.txt" on your konsole with the patch attached 
previously and then enable/disable the BiDi rendering.
