Re: Automatic paragraph direction and BiDirection layouts in Gtk+

HI,

I try to send a refined version of my spec next week.  BTW, I
can't see how this can solve the problem of Evolution.  AFAIK the
problem with Evolution is that GtkHTML does not make use of
Pango, so no bidirectional...  The solution is that GtkHTML
should use Pango.  There's a bug on ximian.org's bugzilla for
that.  Otherwise I don't think that spec solves much of the
problem here.
