Hi, i got a new moroccan keyboard with french+arab symbols. But, looking in "ara" file, the layout there doesn't matches with the physical layout printed in keyboard. My keyboard isn't the same from provided URL <a href="http://www.apprendre-arabe.com/images/1.jpg"> http://www.apprendre-arabe.com/images/1.jpg</a> but the layout is the same. The almost same arab layout can be found <a href="http://www.datacal.com/s_images/arabic-keyboard_l.jpg">using qwerty instead azerty to latin script and without [, ], { and } in arab script</a>. I will provide this layout, but i want to know if this layout have some name (and, if no-one knows that, ara(alternate) is good?). Because i am not an arab speaker, i can't give much more information. Hope someone here have more information.
I think ara(alt) would be just fine. I am not sure that layout exists - but it is just my impression, I am not Arabic-literate in any way. Did you check all variants in the 'ara' file?

As I stated before, i am not an arab speaker; the only thing i do is to compare the symbols printed in keyboard with what appears on screen. < and > in upper-right is inverted, when i type < i got > and vice-versa. That doesn't happens with [ and ], { and } or ( and ). Now i am guessing, maybe it acts in revert way to compare minor/major in right-to-left; but, if this is the case, why they are printed reversed in the keys? Hope you can help with this problem

However, this is actually a rendering issue, it is the same greater and lesser signs, but rendered mirrored in Arabic context. english: 5 > 1 عربي: 5 > 1
It seems the discussion has died in February. Any chance to get a patch for the new variant?
