GNU FriBidi 1.0.16

v1.0.9 previously ported by Fredrik Wikstrom


GNU FriBidi
===========

The Free Implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.


Background
==========

One of the missing links stopping the penetration of free software in Middle
East is the lack of support for the Arabic and Hebrew alphabets. In order to
have proper Arabic and Hebrew support, the bidi algorithm needs to be
implemented. It is our hope that this library will stimulate more free software
in the Middle Eastern countries.


Audience
========

It is our hope that this library will stimulate the implementation of Hebrew and
Arabic support in lots of Free Software.

GNU FriBidi is already being used in projects like Pango (resulting in GTK+ and
GNOME using GNU FriBidi), AbiWord, MLTerm, MPlayer, BiCon, and vlc.


Dependencies
============

GNU FriBidi does not depend on any other library. It uses either the GNU Build
System or meson for build and installation.
