[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] MPlayer Subtitles Arabic Shaping Support

[Mohammed Yousif]

Hello,
  Attached is a patch to enable Arabic language support.
  Currently, FriBiDI does BiDI, but Arabic also needs shaping.
  Shaping is the process of "connecting" the letters to form new
  shapes depending on the position of a given Arabic letter.
