\C{config} Configuring PuTTY

\S{config-features-shaping} Disabling Arabic text shaping
\cfg{winhelp-topic}{features.arabicshaping}
PuTTY supports shaping of Arabic text, which means that if your
server sends text written in the basic Unicode Arabic alphabet then
it will convert it to the correct display forms before printing it
on the screen.
If you are using full-screen software which was not expecting this
to happen (especially if you are not an Arabic speaker and you
unexpectedly find yourself dealing with Arabic text files in
applications which are not Arabic-aware), you might find that the
display becomes corrupted. By ticking this box, you can disable
Arabic text shaping so that PuTTY displays precisely the characters
it is told to display.
You may also find you need to disable bidirectional text display;
see \S{config-features-bidi}.
\S{config-features-bidi} Disabling bidirectional text display
\cfg{winhelp-topic}{features.bidi}
PuTTY supports bidirectional text display, which means that if your
server sends text written in a language which is usually displayed
from right to left (such as Arabic or Hebrew) then PuTTY will
automatically flip it round so that it is displayed in the right
direction on the screen.
If you are using full-screen software which was not expecting this
to happen (especially if you are not an Arabic speaker and you
unexpectedly find yourself dealing with Arabic text files in
applications which are not Arabic-aware), you might find that the
display becomes corrupted. By ticking this box, you can disable
bidirectional text display, so that PuTTY displays text from left to
right in all situations.
