Add Arabic & Persian support to the terminal

[GNULinuxUser]

Hi GNULinuxUser,

i've faced this problem before but honestly i didn't try to solve it.

i you find out a soultion share it with me

I definitely will brief you with any new updates on the topic as soon as I thoroughly look into it when I get some time.
Thank you so much for your reply.

I am yet interested to know if you pursued using your command line with these new modifications?
Because I find it not convenient at all for my use!

Or did you simply uninstall the packages and it worked back again in its original setting ?

no i have done Ubuntu 10.10 fresh installation on that computer to try the new Ubuntu release.

Thanks man!

(but if I type CTRL-ALT-T in gnome-> letters are separated, or CTRL-ALT-F1 and login it does not work --> squares appears!)

Thank you for your wonderful work!

I found a minor problem with a java application using jline as an input console. When you press a backspace (independently from which keyboard you are using, Arabic or otherwise) a division by zero error occurs:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
at jline.ConsoleReader.backspace(ConsoleReader.java:1 414)
at jline.ConsoleReader.backspace(ConsoleReader.java:1 436)
at jline.ConsoleReader.readLine(ConsoleReader.java:62 8)
at jline.ConsoleReader.readLine(ConsoleReader.java:45 7)termi
at opennlp.ccg.util.JLineReader.readLine(JLineReader. java:80)
at opennlp.ccg.TextCCG.main(TextCCG.java:174)

In normal terminal usages, this does not happen. Nor it happen with jline if you comment out the two lines added in the terminal configuration file in order to enable bicon support.

Thank you,

Giuliano
