Hi,
I am a new user of openbox and I really love it, it's a wonderful window
manager, it even beats xfwm4, now my second best window manager.
However, when browsing pages in mozilla that have arabic titles or editing a
file with an arabic title the titlebar shows boxes instead of letters.
I chnged the font used in the themes to a unicode font and the letters
showed up but without shaping or joining support and not RTL order.
It figures since you only use Xft, freetype and glib right?
I am using the new X.org server and it automatically switches to RTL when I
switch keyboard map, or is that GTK2? Anyway all apps (GTK2.4, rox etc..)
write and read arabic very well..
Can anything be done to fix this?
I copied this from xfwm4 this to openbox/frame.c :
#include <pango-1.0/pango.h>
and this to the Makefile :
-I/usr/lib/pango-1.0
-lpango-1.0
and it compiled perfectly but nothing changed...
