Anyone have an idea where to search for the reason causing this ?I think i've done it, the problem was typedef struct _Lang Lang; struct _Lang { gchar *name; gchar *encoding; Lang *children; }; Lang arabic[] = { {"ISO 8859-6 (Arabic)", "ISO_8859-6", NULL}, {"WINDOWS-1256 (Arabic)", "WINDOWS-1256", NULL}, {NULL} }; changing arabic to _arabic or __arabic did solve itI don't quite understand the above. But one problem that occurs to me is that if the text you were passing to Pango was encoded in presentation forms like using U+FB52 instead of U+06B2 for beh, then Pango wouldn't shape it into connected arabic text. I just filed http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110896 For improving the handling of presentation forms in Pango. But generally, text fed to Pango shouldn't use the presentation forms.
Actually mee to, I don't understand why is it happening, Perhaps we need namespaces in C ? I think that software should be able to work fine even if the user is doing some stupid things "that's why GNU/Linux is going in my opinion" I'll check the bug.
Regards,
Owen
