#bidi — Public Fediverse posts

@wyatt @hatzka If I had to guess, these fundamental changes have happened since the XFree86 era:

1. Internationalization: Personal computer use has expanded out of the Americas and western Europe. Asia in particular brings a need for large glyph sets, contextual glyph shaping, diacritic stacking, bidirectional writing, top-to-bottom writing, and antialiasing to make small curves easier to distinguish. How well does X11's font paradigm handle these, as opposed to relying on "modern" toolkits to shove bitmaps around?

2. High density: People expect things to appear the same size on more than one display connected to one computer even if one has more pixels per millimeter than the other.

3. Privacy: Computer networks have become much less trusted over the past few decades. There was demand to deter publishers of proprietary applications from surreptitiously activating a keylogger or screen logger to exfiltrate your data in other applications.

It's so hard for me to understand what #mozilla is doing.

Its like they don't care about technology or users that much at this point and the higherups are looking for a cash grab.

That horrible decision in the terms of usage and license agreement and the fact that #thunderbird doesn't support RTL languages (Persian, Arabic, Hebrew etc.) And the whole RTL user base of firefox are depending on the bidi-mail-ui extension, which the maintainer says is so hacky because mozilla doesn't document and communicate changes, is INSANE.

It's 2025, and mozilla is totally disregarding ~15% of the world that use RTL writing.

Issues, discissions and requests for native BiDi support have been said for years. BiDi support is a basic ability.

BIDI experts: when I have a paragraph that main direction is LTR and the paragraph is

RTL space LTR

which direction is the space? And why? #bidi #unicode

This virtual workshop will discuss: *common issues in handling right-to-left and left-to-right text *tips & strategies for overcoming challenges with existing translation tools and *how Bidi text functionality is implemented & supported across platforms 💻Register Now: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/9817347089794/WN_xFMxBi7GTq2tCOTY083ckA

As a bonus, #Dart and #Flutter devs may have an easier time with #bidi stuff as I contributed char matchers for #Unicode bidi classes in the latest version of the `more` package:

https://pub.dev/packages/more

`more` is driven by complete Unicode 16 data, unlike the bidi utils in the `intl` package, which use approximations:

https://github.com/dart-lang/i18n/blob/f30ad0fae6e4977b5e0c11e527a8715167869d50/pkgs/intl/lib/src/intl/bidi.dart#L43-L49

I used to do a lot of localization work, and my lack of knowledge around right-to-left scripts and bidi text always bothered me.

Recently I did a deep dive and implemented proper text direction detection in Orgro:

https://github.com/amake/orgro/issues/19

From the next release bidi texts will be layed out properly!

Two events by the Unicode Consortium that may be interesting for developers of applications or web sites with international audiences.

Hi @thunderbird
Could you please consider support for #bidirectional text in Thunderbird, too? (Like what other mail clients such as Roundcube, Gmail, etc have). So that there won't be a need to use add-ones to write RTL and LTR texts.

Here's a link to the issue:

a Unicode-hosted event on bidirectional (#bidi) text:

The webinar, “The Basics of Bidi”, will take place Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at 08:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada) and will include a live question and answer portion. The entire session will be recorded. It is part 1 of a 2-part series, with the second more in-depth session to take place August 13, 2024.

#Racket's GUI is perfect for the interactive Talmud Torah I want to create, except that it doesn't support Bidirectional / #RTL text! Everyone says #bidi is extremely hard but reading the #Unicode UBA* it doesn't seem that crazy — I assume the major difficulties arise when adding bidirectional support to legacy systems. Can anyone with experience in either racket/gui or addng bidi support to a GUI offer some insight into how much work I might expect if I give it a shot?

I have been working on a plugin for #logseq to add #bidirectional text support. It is almost ready to be released, and I would like to get it tested on actual projects before making a public announcement.

If you are a #logseq user and you want to create or actually have been creating mixed content in both LTR and RTL language, please let me know.

#bidi #uart is working on the #nandland #fpga. the next tutorial is #vga, but I'm gonna skip it for now. get back to basics and build some side-by-side old-skool #digital #circuit on the #breadboard vs fpga and see what my brain can latch onto.

(latch. that's a, I say that's a JOKE, son. I say, this boy's about three turnips short of a STEW.)

Just presented about #bidirectional text support, what it is, why it matters and how to address the issues on web.

I hope soon the video to be published.

I used thunderbird and a mail and RSS reader but have had enough of it: too much CPU intensive and too picky about semi-broken RSS feeds.

In mail I switched back to mutt. It now works well. For RSS: I decided to try something different and looking into #elfeed (and #emacs RSS feed reader). Unlike terminal-based ones, it seems to have reasonable support for #bidirectional (#bidi) languages, like #Hebrew .

امروز نمونه پلرومای خودم رو بروزرسانی کردم. یکی از بهترین تغییراتی که ارایه شده، یک #frontend تازه هست که خیلی خوشگله و برخلاف فرانت پیشفرض #پلروما از #bidi هم پشتیبانی می کنه. :ms_robot_heart_eyes:

خبر خوب دیگری از دنیای #فدیورس: #پلوم، به زودی در نسخه ۰٫۶٫۰ از #متن_دوجهته پشتیبانی خواهد کرد.

هم اکنون این قابلیت روی fediverse.blog در حال استفاده است.

اینجا، روش نسبتا ساده‌ای را به توسعه‌دهندگان #ماستودن پیش‌نهاد کردم که می‌تونه پشتیبانی این شبکه اجتماعی از متن دوجهته یا #bidi رو به طرز چشم‌گیری بهبود بده (اگر نگیم کاملا حل می‌کنه)

نمونه مشکل و رفع مشکل رو در این تصاویر می‌تونید ببینید.

من متخصص این کار نیست. اگر دانش تخصصی دارید برای بهبود چنین مواردی، کمک کنید که به یک روش روشن و استاندارد برسیم.

خوب! خوب! خوب!

با اندکی تغییرات، ظاهرا به بهترین شکل ممکن، مشکل پشتیبانی هم‌زمان از زبان‌های راست به چپ و چپ به راست در برنامه @sengi_app حل شده.
