Hebrew Nikud and fribidi

[Dov Grobgeld]

FriBidi just deals with reordering. The nikud placement is the
responsibility of the rendering engine. Most rendering engines already have
bidi support built in, so if you first reorder your string through fribidi
and then try to display it, then you are very likely to get the wrong
result.

Typically if you think that you need to use fribidi, then you are working at
too low a level. Stay with pango or Qt or another high level toolkit.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Dov
