Very recently we discovered critical bu in  our 2.6 series which manifested itself as inconsistent layout and printing. Fixing this required substantial changes to our core graphics rendering classes. This might have affected AbiWord's (and hence Write's) ability to  render bidirectional text and complex scripts. Unfortunately our core abiword hackers are not proficient at either of these so I'm asking for help from people who know about bi-directional text and/or complex texts. Please build our stable branch of the our code and report your tests to abiword-dev@abisource.com. You can checkout the correct branch with this svn command. svn co <A HREF="http://svn.abisource.com/abiword/branches/ABI-2-6-0-STABLE/">http://svn.abisource.com/abiword/branches/ABI-2-6-0-STABLE/</A> abiword-2.6 You'll need the development versions of a number of libraries to build abiword though if your ever managed to build write via sugar-jhbuild you'll have what you need already. More information is in abiword-2.6/docs/build.txt Thank you very much. All help is appreciated. Cheers Martin </BODY> </HTML>
