Hi,

I am using Kubuntu 7.04 w/ openoffice. I have downloaded some avesta fonts and want to use right to left text entry.

In openoffice I have enabled CTL and I even got the left to right and right to left toolbar buttons activated. There is no language pack for avesta.

What is happening is that when I try typing right to left:

The cursor is on the right of the line (as it should be I suppose).

Now suppose I want to type _jack_ in _avesta_ it should come as _kcaj_ meaning that the subsequent letters must appear to the left of the preceding alphabet and the cursor must move to the left.

What is happening is that the cursor remains at the right end of the line and letters appear to the right of the preceding letter.

Surprisingly, when I type a punctuation mark, the cursor moves to the left side of the line and the punctuation mark appears at the left end of the line; the cursor changes from a straight line to what I can best explain as a golf flag, but typing another letter makes the cursor jump back to the right end of the line and its the same story again.

Google is throwing up links with this same problem but no solution.

I hope I am being lucid enough. I can give you any more info required.

What am I missing ?

regards,

Sharukh.
