I'm not sure it would be practical. I could install an X server for
Windows, but I don't think we can trust it to be a faithful imitation
of a native X server. And I don't have enough resources for
maintaining yet another box at home.
I got it running on OS X and can try it there under X, but I have little time so I can't really do the research I would need to do to properly test stuff. However, if somebody can put together a list of things to do to get me going I would be happy to pound on it editing Arabic text on a Mac - text mode, X, Aqua. When I checked out and compiled the code a few weeks ago I couldn't find any bidi-related commands, or rather, didn't have time to figure out how to make it go. If you can get me started I'll make some time for it, though.
