Hmm? How can this be? Isn't the word order dependent on how the file was
'written'? Also, since you have _whole_ words displayed correctly,
wouldn't the reversal of word order be trivial?

You're probably right. So, what's bidi support like in Konqueror?

Really? Could a two-bit hacker wannabe tackle the task? I've never gone
too much further than "hello world" in KDE devel. Also, how does one
develop for KDE 2 while one is using KDE 1.1.2?

While I'm on this track, I'm also interested to help with javascript
support in konqueror - which of the above two task is more difficult? I
should probably cut my teeth with the easier of the two.
