problem with showing Persian translation in terminal linux

[Maryam Jamali]

hi all

I work with Linux OS. When using Persian language, string is shown
incorrect and separated in terminal.
Do you have any idea to solve this problem?

thanks

I do not think there is any way of convincing gnome terminal to do
Persian correctly.

But there are alternatives. mlterm works fine with Persian, kterminal
probably too.

Hi,

You should use some terminals that support bidirectional text rendering.

I think one of the best is yakuake.

Good Luck

P.S. if anyone knows another one that is better than yakuake please let us know.

gnome-terminal itself doesn't support neither bidi nor complex text rendering.
My old BiCon tool can be used to emulate Arabic / Hebrew in the terminal. I
just converted it to git and pushed here:
