Whether or not the client tries his RTL, I am going to try this
constant HINDI = create( wxLocale, wxLANGUAGE_HINDI )
Matt: I need a few more golden code lines from you to try and continue from there.
If it it works, I will put out for everybody a good looking demo for two Indic languages.
What else are you looking for? What operating system are you using? I ask, because the underlying unicode implementation will be different. On Windows, of course, it's all UTF-16, and on Linux it's UTF-32. There are also functions to convert from / to UTF-8 (to_utf8 and from_utf8) which you can use to convert UTF-8 into whatever the native system uses.
If the code points are the same in UTF-16 and UTF-32, then I think it won't matter from the point of view of your euphoria code, since both are represented by euphoria atoms.
