Dear Gerard,
your wrote
The current "external.png"
implementation is horribly broken in
languages that are right to left like Farsi, Hebrew, Arabic. So let's
create a "pdf icon" only when the implementation of the external.png
is fixed. Let's not add more garbage in a manner that we know is broken.
however, it doesn't matter, where that icon actually is (left or right
-- this can be programmable, dependent on the direction of writing).
My point is, do we want this or not ?
Tom
My point is that I do not want something that is broken. Forward
portability is nonsense when it breaks things. So Firefox and Mozilla
NEED to be on the list of browsers that should not show it. The code
should automagically decide on being right OR left depending on the
language. As to do we want it. I do not want it as long as there is no
audience for it. (No IE no Firefox/Mozilla for whom are you doing this ??)
PS there is a Firefox bug report about this one.
Thanks,
GerardM
