[webkit-dev] Re: gtk port

[zaheer ahmad]

hi,
i used the patch below and had success in rendering arabic webpages.
however this seems to have broken the text search,

Font::selectionRectForText ->  selectionRectForComplexText(run, style,
point, h, from, to); seems to be returning incorrect values.

thanks,
Zaheer
