    AbiWord-2.5.0 complex script testers please?
    As noted by Marc "uwog" Maurer and hub AbiWord-2.5.0 was released today.

    Like every free software project, we really appreciate testing and feedback from our users. However for the 2.5.0 release cycle we have a special plea to speakers of Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Indic, Thai and other complex script languages. One of the really big efforts in the 2.5.0 cycle is to move to a new pango-based text renderer for Linux. This is primarily the work of Tomas Frydrych,, ex-biblical scholar, now OpenedHand developer. With this we can in principle fully support all the languages supported by pango. However none of us core Abi-Hackers has much knowledge of these languages so we really need help from native speakers to provide feedback and to let us know what doesn't work.

    Your help is much appreciated.
