Well, I highly recommend getting 1.99.3 instead of
1.0.6 if you want to use it for Bidi purposes. It's
much much better, regardless of the platform you're
on.
That said, it shouldn't be too hard for you to use
Bidi in AbiWord. The toolbar has 3 relevant icons
(whose functionality are also accessible from the
Paragraph and Font dialogs):
Set direction left to right
Set direction right to left
Set/unset dominant direction right to left
AbiWord implements the Bidi algorithms as specified by
the Unicode standard. If you have the proper fonts set
up, and can use those 3 icons/controls, you should
pretty much be golden.
Dom
