[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] FRIBIDI fix (subreader.c)

Just to make things more clear:

Most windows subtitles displayer doesn't show up hebrew subtitles correctly,
this makes hebrew subtitles writers to intentionally misplace commas and 
dots
so they will display correctly on screen. Most hebrew subtitles are this 
way and
the fix I just sent should "correct" it. Anyway, I'm planning to write 
something that
will let the user himself decide wether the subtitle file is "correct" 
(commas, dots, etc
placed correctly) or not, switching between :

   base = FRIBIDI_TYPE_ON;

and

   base = FRIBIDI_TYPE_L;

As soon as I will finish it, I will send a diff file. In the meantime 
the above solution should
do it as most if not all hebrew subtitles are written that way.

Regards,
Eliran Gonen
