doest this make the bidi-plugin obsolete or does it mean "hebrew, arabic etc. without RTL-support"?
I guess I should correct and qualify that. I think that the _display_ of all unicode is working fine, but with Right-to-Left and probably especially Bi-Directional text, editing is still problematic.
Also, the box widths are off when using Chinese and Kanji characters. They are much wider than the 'M' character that the box spacing is currently based off of. There is a patch to hard-code Pd to use spacing that is correct for Chinese and Kanji, but then it makes the boxes much too wide when using alphabets. The solution really is to make Tcl/pd-gui handle the box widths, which means some big changes to Pd that should happen anyway.
