I need information on any application that allow to write arabic text on a Macintosh. I need a wp writing from right to left and arabic fonts. Any suggestion? Please excuse me if this is not the correct newsgroup for such a question. Paolo Ciancarini

Try MacWrite! The only thing you have to do is to get an arabic system software (should be on some developer CD). With this system you could mix arabic and roman letters. When you write english (roman letters) you write from left to right, and when you write arabic the system automatic change the order: from right to the left. This is hard to explain, you have to try it! This works with all wps that follows the Apple guidelines for textediting, the old MacWrite does this (to some extent). /Olle
