[linux-dvb] Re: DVB-to-Unicode translation tables

["Ouddane, Hamid" <hamid.ouddane@orbit.net>]

Hi,

Well, broadcasters who use Arabic text in the DVB stream use the ISO
standard or even a modified ISO and there is only one doing it in the middle
east (I did it for them :-) )... Now if they use it as part of an iTV
application (which I doubt, since it will add overload to the application
itself) !!!

Let me know if I can be of any help in the mixed LTR and RTL texts and
rendering problems, since I worked on that time ago with chaps from
Mindport...

Hamid

Minus the user defined range 0x80-0x9f.

I can't remember exactly. There are some that don't specify a
character set but seem to use iso-8859-9 instead of the
Latin (== iso6937) default.
